To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection. ~Jules Henri Poincsre
Today I am grateful...
- that it is a week into the new year and I can remember every day
- that it is time to get this place into shape. All the art is gone and it feels a bit lonely around here.
- for yesterday's first step meeting. Always good to be taken back to when we first came into the rooms.
- that I do not need to take anti-depressants. I took them during the height of my drinking, which is pretty funny, fighting a depressant with an anti-depressant. All they did is fuck up my metabolism.
- for hoogerbrugge.com
- that I am still battling this laryngitis and will eventually win the fight
In all times of emotional disturbance or indecision, we can pause, ask for quiet, and in the stillness simply say: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. Thy will, not mine, be done."

Dear Scott,
have a wonderful day !
love you
Laryngitis is sexy. Work it.
Plus, you can practice those listening skills with your new miracle ear!
aww..I couldn't imagine my filing cabenet not being home either.
But getting your art out into the world is all part of growing as an artist right? Good luck Scott W!
