The most basic

Frame of reference affects everything. It affects how you think, how you look at things and your attitude, how you act and live. Seems pretty obvious, no?

What is your frame of reference? Mine seems to be bitterness. I am bitter at myself for not making better choices. I am bitter at my parents for moving me from Madisonburg when I was nine years old. I am bitter at the world for not giving me what I expected from life. I am bitter about so many disappointments and failures and... all of my life, right now.

This has to change right now. I have to let go of the bitterness, the disappointment, and take a new view of life - a view that I have control over what I can do with what remains of my life. I need a view that puts my wife and children ahead of technology and selfish desires that I view as needs. I need a view that puts spirituality and relationship with God ahead of my sin - that embraces my humanity as a spiritual asset. Somehow. If I understand what that even means.

This blog is going to be several things:

• Typing practice since my typing really seems to have gone downhill.
• Writing practice since I really hate to write but that seems to be what I need to do most.
• Exercise for my dwindling vocabulary.
• A journal of my thoughts and, perhaps, dreams.
• A curation of autobiographical events, reactions, and thoughts.
• Other sundry crap as it comes to mind.
