I also found that interesting. It's something I do quite often and I didn't know there was a specific name for it. Visualizing things in that way may seem morbid to those who haven't tried but I'm actually a very positive & optimistic person. For example: As I walk around shutting the house down at night I'm often initially stressed or unhappy with seeing my boys toys & school stuff cluttering up the rooms & hallways. To get over it I remember that we have several friends that have lost children, or have grown children in college, and that this is something they won't experience anymore. Having messy boys is better than a clean empty house.

Yeah, I've become much more interested in stoicism lately. It shares some characteristics with some other practices I've found helpful in my life. If you are familiar with the Serenity Prayer: when you realize you cannot change anything that has happened up until this moment in time, that's powerful stuff.

My daughter asked me why I need two monitors at work. So I turned on cartoons on one side and her facebook page on the other.

So how pissed would everyone be if I wrote a bot that actually posted everything from my twitter feed to here?

We've all got stress/issues/**** going on and it seems this "magical" time of year just adds to it. I am all for playing Santa and giving gifts to kids, but buying for friends, siblings, parents, co-workers, etc. is out of control IMO. My wife wonders why I get so irritable this time of year. Of course her calling my multiple times a day when I am at work to ask what I think she should get for so and so, doesn't help.
F it, I am gonna go hit the cookie tray...

the family of the gingerbread man i ate is going to press charges against me for murder 1. I'm gonna plead insanity as gingerbread is so tasty that i lost my sense of right and wrong. It'll be the new twinkie defense.

I might try to hit it hard tomorrow morning on the trainer. I haven't done any 100 percenters in a long while. Maybe try 10-15 min intervals. But only if the IT band is good.
Felt ok today what little I did.

Is she getting closer and closer? If so, cue botto for the appropriate quote. If not, well, um, ... I'm sure that there are lots of other things to make your relationship wonderful
