Confession of the Day
Wife no longer wants to work.
We’ve been married for just over 4 years and things have been going great. No children and aren’t planning to have any. Combine that with the two of us making decent/ok salaries in our moderate cost-of-living area, and we have a comfortable life. Could be better of course, but I’m working on that and I was under the impression that she was too.
She told me yesterday that her “dream” was for me to make enough money for her to be able to quit her job and stay home. This came as a pretty big shock to me, as it was the first I’ve ever heard anything like this in the years I’ve been with her.
Hot New Music of the Day
Check out Ali Coyle’s new song, ‘Dream Killer’. It’s this amazing blend of indie rock and soulful harmonies, with a touch of modern synth. The way she sings about facing our fears and moving past them is really powerful. Plus, there’s this super cool music video with a great story. Definitely worth a listen and a watch!”

Being Proactive and Not Reactive: The Key to a Fulfilling Life
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up reacting to events and situations around us rather than taking charge of our lives in a proactive way. Being proactive simply means taking conscious control and initiative to make things happen rather than just letting things happen to you. It’s about shaping your life intentionally rather than just responding to whatever comes your way.

Picture of the Day
In 1911, an unlikely baseball team took the field at the Wyoming State Penitentiary – a team comprised entirely of inmates sentenced to death for violent crimes. Led by star player and convicted murderer Joseph Seng, the prison’s baseball team quickly became a fleeting sensation.
The “Death Row All Stars,” as they were known, were thrust into competition by the warden, Felix Alston, as part of his new reform initiatives. Their opponent in all four games was a strong local team, the Wyoming Supply Company Juniors. Against all odds, the All Stars dominated, winning each game decisively.
What’s The Difference Between Love And Infatuation?
I’ve found myself falling into the infatuation trap before. It’s really easy to confuse it with genuine love. But for me anyway, infatuation is a lot more like a drug.
It’s a feeling that consumes you with temporary euphoric highs, and deep, dark lows. It’s almost like a panicked state of obsession. It fills your brain so all you can think about is that person. You start to care less about what really matters in your own life…your goals, your friends, your work. All that matters when you’re infatuated, is them. And you feel a strong, leeching desire to mold yourself into the person you think they’d want you to be.
