Inside my empty bottle I was constructing a lighthouse while all the others were making ships.


Well you can see a little bit of our view from the apartment we now live in, as well as our cat, Titus. :) What do you think? Personally I find it funny that we're looking *down* on the street sign Verdugo, which sounds an awful lot like vertigo. :P It's nice to actually see green hills outside, which is a rarity in the LA area.

Rachel finishes up her condensed semester at Glendale Community College tomorrow, then she gets 12 days off until the Spring semester. Although I don't celebrate Valentine's Day in the most normal of ways, I know the halmark holiday is important to Rachel, so I'm gonna do something special...and original. :D You'll all have to wait to hear about it because she reads this journal. :P

Lately I've been thinking about my outlook on life, and my place in it. Which would be a good time to point out the quote at the beginning. It's much like how I feel I should be...how I used to be. I feel like I've strayed from my spiritual wellness, and it bothers me. I always believed that I was somewhat selfless, and cared more for others than I did myself. But, I guess with all the focus on worrying about my career, and other such stuff, I just don't think I'm that lighthouse anymore. I've been building my ship and getting ready to sail. :/ I've been preoccupied with instant-satisfaction, that's -- NOT -- what I'm about!

I've noticed an increase in anger, stress, anxiety, and just a general blah-ness. It's damaging me, my relationship with my girlfriend, and my relationship with life.

I need a quiet spot of grass, a warm sunny sky, a copy of The Tao Te Ching, and a connection to my spirit in order to meditate and work myself back into my place.

I need to be myself again, before I'm lost.
