Spring Break

Today’s the first day of spring break, and it’s cloudy out. Will that be the norm for the rest of the week? We’ll see, I suppose.

It seems everyone I know is fighting depression. This, as I begin to emerge from my own. With the others, it seems the depression is driven by relationship issues. For those in their 20s, as most of those I’m referring to are, relationship issues seem like the center of self-purpose. Yep, I’ve been there, and I’ve done that. Too often no doubt.

Today is also the 8th anniversary of my first date with my squeeze. Time is rushing by so fast, I can hear its roar in my ears. It sure doesn’t seem like eight years have passed since I picked her up a the airport for our first weekend together. Squeeze has outlasted every other romantic relationship I’ve ever been in except for my marriage.

Someone wisely said “Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer you get to the end, the faster it goes.” No doubt. No doubt.
