Where I am, my Perspective

To be honest with my self is tough because I am not doing so good in a lot of areas. Let me make a list and call the list, Major Life Areas:

• Social
• Financial
• Physical Health
• Mental Health
• Psychological

One at a time I will examine the above areas with an eye towards honesty. One might ask, "Why might you be doing this?"; To which I would reply, to improve my lot through self-discovery via the process of writing it down in an effort to face the facts and claw my way out. Using my Blog to this purpose brings some miss-givings, being public and all. Maybe the potentially public aspect of this writing will be a benefit rather than a humiliation. Will my need for honest self-appraisal be hindered by the public nature of a blog? I hope not. I only have one follower, whom I already share my thoughts and feelings with quite openly, so to answer the question of hindrance by potential discovery, no, not at first anyway. Perhaps that will change. We shall see. Enough of this speculation, and on to the real deal.

Okay, so let me begin by discussing the above bulleted items, the first being:

Social:

Recent times have seen my social life becoming extremely limited due to the inadequacies of other areas, economic being chief among them. If having a normal cash flow was currently operative I doubt this area would even appear as a topic of concern. I believe myself as functioning with normal social skills, they just don't get practiced often. Maybe other relevant observations will occur to me as I continue on to other areas.

Note: After putting more thought into this "Where I am Perspective", I believe that the potential for harm does exists in continuing the exercise in this public forum. As I get into it more I realize how unpleasant it would be to see the text from other areas splashed across the net. Therefore I am taking it private at this point. Perhaps I will share the conclusions, plans developed, and other facets in the Blog format later on. Until then, goodbye.
