Feeling Diminished

I had the opportunity to see an old friend and colleague this week whom I have know for 14 years.  I have watched him struggle with some life stuff, but he is now doing very well and seems to be truly a "man in full".

It reinforced my feelings and thoughts about how my world feels like it has shruken so much these past years.  I still work full time and I am grateful to have a job that gives me flexibility.

I was lucky enough to get married to a wonderful woman in December last year and she is amazing.

Still, I can't seem to shake this feeling of diminishment.  Too much water over the dam with this disease, it wears down all of us sometimes.
