but an obstacle stands in the way of many would-be great writers: Mood.
I have thought several times recently about writing my thoughts and
sharing what is on my mind. These are the opportunities on which I pass
because I choose to supress the negativity. On one hand, keeping sad or
angry thoughts to myself is not healthful. But more importantly, I would
rather brighten my world than to darken the place that I already
consider to have enough sadness.
There are many places for all emotions. A glance at modern music renders
a snapshot of the many perspectives and experiences human beings have.
Naturally, the best music does not even require a study of its lyrics
(for compositions that have them) to know the intended mood.
That is all there is to say here today.

Haha. I know EXACTLY how you feel about your blankey... I still hate when water seeps into my mask and I am forced to clear it. Also, if your mask fogs up you have to flood and clear in order to be able to see. The saltwater stings your eyes in addition to being a very nerve racking thing to have to do...
Michael and Kaela don't seem to have near the fear that I do concerning the mask flooding. I hope that in time it will get easier for me.
Let me know how your open water dives go. As long as you do Aquarina Springs or Comal you should have a great experience.
I share this - the self-censorship. In my experience, it tends to expand its block until you're not saying anything.
And I'm coming to understand that holding in thoughts and feelings, as long as responsibly expressed, actually empoverishes.
The posts I've done where people relate the most are the ones where I'm struggling, searching, crying.
ymmv ...

Suz, you have a way of writing that simultaneously expresses vulnerability and self control. But then, that is no different than how you are in person. Your quackery is never meaningless banter.
One thing I have found difficult over the years is to turn off the analytical approach that has served so well in my work. Away from the office, I need to learn to turn on the creative in personal interactions. Cats like you irritate me because it's so NATURAL. Share your secrets and SAVE ME!
Mandi, love your comment. I'd like to move it to the Scuba blog, but I can't.
If you'd like to repost it over there, I'll delete this one.
