Hi, this is my new journal. The goal is to put my thoughts, actions, and emotions on “paper” to increase the quality of life for myself and my children via reflection and clarity of thought.

A quick review of me: I am christian, male, middle aged, divorced, earn steady income, on the autistic spectrum, with depression and anxiety as co-existing disorders. Also, my past includes a long struggle with addiction and loneliness. I am a caregiver to an adult daughter on the spectrum, have another adult step-daughter who is living on her own, and live with a very needy rat terrier. I am a condo owner and live debt-free, except for my mortgage. Lastly, I don’t really have any close friends or companions, which is something my therapist is trying to help me change. Enough for today. Have a blessed day!
