    Today I learned that a former teacher passed away. I kept telling myself that I would make time to reconnect with Michael and I never did. Michael was an optimist. I have not been, but today I feel like I want to figure it out. Because now there's a little less optimism in the world, and someone needs to pick up the slack.

    Today I'm thankful for the opportunity to say no to a project. Sometimes a job is obviously trouble, and you walk away feeling like you dodged a bullet. That's not what this was.It was not a bad project, or a bad client. I'm just not the right guy for the job. A few years ago I would have jumped at this opportunity, and it probably wouldn't have gone very well. It feels like a small success to have enough experience and insight to see, and to say, that we're not the right fit for each other.

    Today I unpack part of my story that is really just beginning. Many people around me know that I don't drink alcohol. I often say something like "I quit drinking a while back."But it's only been recently that I realized that there's a difference between "quitting" and "recovering".This revelation came as I faced down the constant specters of anxiety and depression, and realized that...1.) Swallowing more and different chemicals, pharmaceutical or otherwise, didn't feel like a solution.2.) I can't and don't care to do this alone.
