I'm happier these days.
I think a large part of that is having changed jobs, so now I build things not with a computer and paperwork, but with my own hands. I get to walk outside and put my face under the sun whenever I want. I feel that I accomplish something every day.
I am, by nature, more of a loner than not. Thus, I have several hobbies with which to occupy myself on my time, in my way, without needing someone else' frequent involvement.
Off the top of my head I can think of only three areas where I am unhappy.
First, I miss my best friend.
Second, I'm having a devil of a time making any progress at all in any artistic endeavor. Most people might not have personal experience allowing them to understand how heavy this is.
Third, I miss having the company of some poor girl who puts up with me.
Fortunately, as part of getting my head straightened out the last couple of years I've regained my belief that these things will work out fine. I'm just going to keep trying to be a half-way decent human, thank God for the winds and rains, and enjoy renewed hope.
Also, hedgehogs.

Those three areas are real doozeys, unfortunately, but at least you have the perspective to know that a.] they're not forever things, and b.] they're not killers. And c.] that they're only three, and not three million, despite sometimes feeling that way .. also key.
Keep me updated on the hedgie adventure.
