I've known something has been wrong for some time, but I didn't have a name for it. At times it seems I've lost both faith and hope. My wife is perplexed, " You have a great family and job, why are you so depressed all the time." I get the feeling that I will weather this storm. I know life is not nearly as bad as my inner turmoil would seem to indicate. Never the less the solution to these feelings does't seem self evident, but I suppose recognizing that there is a problem is the beginning of the solution. Today I discovered that I’m a cynic.
