raliced, thank you. I think that for the much of the last 8 or so years, I've had a mild-to-moderate case of "I want what I don't have" syndrome. For a while I was jealous of my friends who were still playing video games and going wherever they wanted all of the time. Then there was a period that felt suffocated because I didn't live next to a lake. Then there was a couple of years where I really wished I was more free to play more golf. Then I found snowboarding and couldn't stand the fact that I didn't live less than 1,000 miles from a decent mountain. And now of course, after neglecting my W for so long, I am hurt by the thought that she is not there for me and I can't be there for her. This is a cycle that I need to break forever. Treasure and be thankful for what I have. It's going to take work for me to treasure my current life, even though I know I have it better than most people in the world.
