JWS,
As long as you have a leash on your anger, no problem. If your anger slips the leash, pattern interrupt. Go to the store, call someone, anything to break that spin and regain control.

I think that we will all go through the angry times. I had a friend of mine tell me that everyone kept wondering when I was going to get angry. I'm not a saint, though I might look it to some. The truth is that I needed her so badly, I'd have done anything to keep her and that kept the anger hidden down deep behind fear.

It's good to see them without the rose colored glasses. It's good to be able to look at the situation dispassionately and to be able to step back and look at the painting from across the room instead of only with your nose pressed against it.

It's brutally hard to take stock without emotion, but, you've got your health, the coolest job in the world, though I know you guys still point to someone else and thing that they've got it better even if it's the aerial demo team or the guys in the wing over here or over there. You're young. You don't have kids to complicate the situation further. Life is an amazing adventure, and there is a whole lot left to see and do in this life.

Be safe and go find some clouds to play with.
