Cassie and I had a good, relaxed anniversary, which I think fits. At least it does now. When we met we partied hard. I came from the Vegas punk scene, she'd been living in the repressed Utah theatre scene. It got wild. Now, we just relax and enjoy each other's company.
TWO THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR (SPECIFIC)
1. I've talked about my therapist a lot but after our session tomorrow I think I want to shout him out again. I was really scattered the entire hour and he found a way to pull it all together and proposed a new path we could take. It involves a sand tray? I'm nervous and excited.
2. My wife ruined my anxiety coping mechanisms (bear with me). When we met I was aggressively impulsive. No time to think? No time to be anxious. But that made her anxious, so I stopped. That's part of what my therapist and I are focusing on next, so it was good in the long run!
ONE THING THAT WENT WELL DURING THE DAY
Until recently my therapy sessions were sporadic at best, sometimes going months without being able to schedule an appointment. Now that he's gone into private practice and we have weekly appointments, I feel like sessions like yesterday's have been much more frequent and helpful
ONE ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL ACTION ITEM FOR THE DAY
I'm feeling good about writing today. I agreed with Patrick Rothfuss when he said, "I don't think writers' block exists. I think undiagnosed mood disorder exists." I had a great therapy session yesterday and today I feel creatively energized. I think he was onto something.
WHATEVER IS ON MY MIND
I will admit, between the anniversary, the therapy, the OGL controversy, I'm tired. Not in a good or bad way. Just tired. It's been a busy week. So while I'm excited to sit down and write today, I'm not sure what to expect out of my brain. I feel like Evinrude in "The Rescuers"
All best

OH! Right! I forgot.
