Sunshine beckons

Looking out the window at a beautiful clear crisp morning, I know that I need to get out in the sunshine a little today. As soon as I typed that a cloud came through and obscured the sun! Maybe that is just a sign to do the things I need to do now and not to wait because they might not be there when we are ready for them.

An interesting concept, sounds almost like carpe diem, seize the day, or in plain English, just do it! Now! What are those things that we are waiting for a better time to do? Whether they are good or bad things to do, I know that when I just get things done I feel so much better about myself.

I remember speaking with another guy who was putting together a correlation between depression sufferers and ADD (and it's many other forms) and how they seemed to be linked in some way. I certainly have issues with scattered thought processes which greatly impact my performance both as a worker, friend and family member. The other strange tie-in is with obsessive-compulsive traits. It seems that there are more and more things in my life that have to be "just so " or it bothers me, even to the point of stopping me in my tracks and causing me to have to force myself into action to overcome the obstacle, real or perceived. It can be as simple as which utensil I use to eat with. What is up with that? Thinking about Howard Hughes the other day and how when I was younger I just thought he was nuts and now I am beginning to think that he probably was suffering from depression and OCD, leading him into his reclusive life at a time when these things were far less understood and certainly less treatable. Imagine some of the amazing things he could have done had he received proper care.

A life well lived needs to be on track and if medical intervention is the answer, so be it!
