Hi Mark - I'm glad you're taking care of "Feeling Mark" rather than stuffing all that stuff down, down, down inside!!
Cheers, Kath

Feeling mark has his blinders on and is only seeing the here and now. I need to let Feeling mark get it out of this system so that Thinking mark can get our butt(s) in gear.

> I know the booze isn't helping. I'm a cyclical drinker and thankfully the cycles are getting shorter. This time I had 4 months. Last time it was 2 years. I can tell this cycle is almost over because Feeling mark is starting to listen and work with Thinking mark. Once they start cooperating again I can get back on track.
