Now to work on sharing my pictures
It's time to get to work. Quite unexpectedly there is a FAST internet connection here in Pampa over Verizon's Extended Network. I've had glimpses of a fast connection occasionally on Verizon's Extended Network but it has been fleeting at best. I get the feeling the network speed gets throttled back as soon as it discovers I'm on as a Verizon EVDO customer. Can that be?
[Time passes] Ok, let's try this. I'm not really happy with it but it will do for a first go.

Relive Your Traumas
I suppose you have to relive your traumas in a way that is somewhat controlled and contained in order to move on from them. Some things you can walk quickly away from and never look back and other things bid you look again and again until you see something of the truth of them. I believe you have to let yourself remember and relive, that you have to find a way to settle with your past because you and it are always going to occupy the same headspace - you cannot separate yourself from anything you have ever done or seen or thought. You have to be able to look at the elements of the past without flinching and I believe that sometimes takes a few kicks at the cat. Or it does for me, anyway. It doesn't change anything - but it makes it easier to be comfortable in my skin.
