Well after a nice weekend of getting shit done (GSD) and having fun I am feeling much better about life in general. However, the weekend did not start off so well. Friday night I got into a serious verbal fight with the wife. It was over something immensely stupid and honestly I can't even remember what it was about. Neither of us were willing to back down so that lead to a screaming match and me punching the wall after she walked out of the house. All this went down after I got out of work and before we were supposed to be meeting some friends at a concert. So we fought the whole way to the concert until I backed down and apologized and then she backed down and apologized too. What an annoyance that was and I was also worried that it was gonna a) ruin the evening at the show b) make the whole weekend suck dog balls. Luckily it didn't do either. We made up and went to the show, got a buzz on and it was all good after that (especially after the midday boning the following day). I have come to realize that I need to just back down and apologize even though I know I am right just to make my life a little easier. In the long run it will be worth it. Back to the title "renewed purpose" I managed to get out hiking this past weekend and really enjoyed myself. It had been too long since I had been in the woods and the sense of calm and relief was tangible. Its just so damn nice to get outta the city for a while and reconnect with my roots and my true love of nature. I need to get out of Boston more often and make my way to the wilderness where I can achieve some sense of peace and help to recharge myself for the stress filled existence I have chosen.
