Naturally we all have days when we are feeling a bit less then optimistic. Sometimes it's brought on by a tragedy. Other times you just wake up in a fit of rage. That happens to me if my eyes open two minutes before my alarm goes off. At any rate, it's important that we have a healthy flow of emotions.

My current hopes for the creation of this blog site are mixed. I've been a journal keeper for nearly my entire life and part of me feels like I should embrace technology and venture into the digital journal world. To me, life is all about connection.

That is some powerful stuff.
