The stress of this week has been difficult. I woke up yesterday morning with a stiff shoulder and neck, probably from tossing and turning for the past several night. I took a pain reliever, but my medicine to relax the muscles always causes me to fall asleep. So, I waited to take that when I got home and was ready for bed last night. I did, and apparently, I needed that sleep and something to relax me. Subsequently, I ended up sleeping most of the day today, but I feel much better. Sometimes, we just need some rest and relaxation.
About Joe
I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's.
My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces.
