I overslept this morning. I pulled a muscle in my shoulder yesterday. It continually felt worse and hurt more throughout the day. After I got home and had dinner, I took a muscle relaxer to try to help. I fell asleep around 8:30 pm last night and had to drag myself out of bed this morning. Now, I feel like I’m already running behind today. Thankfully, my shoulder feels better but is still hurting. Hopefully, it will continue to feel better as the day goes on.
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.

I am sorry to hear about your shoulder. Perhaps that young man in your image today could apply some firm massage?
