I am having a great day thus far. We had a good amount of snow last night so I was busy shoveling our driveway early this morning. I used the snow blower at my parents and did a few or their neighbors driveways. I also shoveled one of Jodi's teacher friends driveway as I was feeling like a good Samaritan today.
I have been worrying quite a bit about the spring and what it is I should do. I realize that it is still two months a way but, I am already feeling some anxiety around it. I have to make the best decision for my mental health and for providing a good income during the season. I do know that I want a stress free season and to be able to enjoy what I am doing. I do not want to be on edge all the time and missing out on what work can be, fun. I also want to have some more time at home at night and enjoy some of what summer has to offer. I have slowed things down a bit the last few days and am going to put any plans on the shelf for a bit. I am sure things will work out for the best, or at least I can hope they will.
Today was a good day mentally. I kept myself busy and did not think too much. I was able to simply enjoy what I was doing and have some peace of mind. These days do not always come around so I am thankful for what today has had to offer.
Ollie has been limping a bit and his rear leg is giving him some pain. Think I will rest him for the next few days and hopefully that will help him get back on track. It is supposed to rain a lot for the next few days so would not be enjoyable to be up at the arena anyway.
Time to figure out what we are going to do for dinner. Have a great week. Take care, Shawn.
Fun is an essential part of living life.

Interview
Knocked my interview right out of the park today. I answered all of the questions without hesitation and with strong content. I think they were impressed and I feel quite positive about the overall experience. I had been nervous about it but, was calm once my mind was able to settle down yesterday. I had so many different scenarios going through my head with the outcome of today. I realized that I had nothing to lose and that it was not the life changing event that I was making it out to be.
I also realized today that my true passion just might be in the landscaping industry. Maybe instead of trying to look for somethings else, I simply must embrace where I am at and find ways to be better at what I do. I have learned so much in the last few years and know landscaping is something I am very good at. If I take the time to upgrade some skills and obtain some certifications, there is no reason I cannot succeed at something I truly enjoy. If it had snowed all winter, I would not have given another job a second thought as I would have been focused on plowing. I think if I actually make the effort in the next two months to get my DZ license, I will put myself in a better situation for next winter. So many more winter jobs would open up and I could still landscape for the other eight months.
In the past, I never took the time to think through decisions when it came to employment. I would just jump in to something and not really consider if it was something that would be beneficial to my mental health on a long term basis. That is why it is important for me to take the time now and really assess all my options and think about what the best case scenario would be for me and our family. It is difficult to do sometimes as my mind starts racing with some decisions and I need to make a conscience effort to slow it down.
I am actually glad that hockey is back. I watched Hockey Night in Canada last Saturday and got some tingles as they showed some clips of years gone by on the show. I can still remember tuning in as a young boy and being enthralled with the game and some of the dynamic players in the eighties. I would try so hard to stay up to watch the end of the game but, would often fall asleep before its conclusion. I had that time so spend with my Dad too and will always remember those Saturday nights down by the wood stove.
Hope all is well in your corner of the world.
Take a deep breath. Breathe out the negative and breathe in the positive.

Some Catching Up
I have not written in quite some time. Have not been too motivated to write for the last few weeks but, hopefully that will change soon.
I turned 37 on January 13th. I would not say it was one of my more memorable birthdays as I was pretty down for much of it. Jodi made great efforts later in the day to turn the day around and brought home some wings for the football game. She even got a treatza pizza from DQ which was quite tasty. Those gestures definitely helped turn the day around and we were able to salvage the last part of my big day. I am thankful to even be 37 as things certainly could have turned out differently if I did not have the supports I have in place.
It was pretty damn cold here today. I took Ollie for two plays at the Arena which made for some chilly walking. He has trouble with the cold too and I could tell he was struggling as he was limping on his one leg. Think I will keep him inside for a few days until this cold snap breaks. I really wish I could take him to the dog park again but, I cannot take the chance. We went there when he was younger but, he was bitten a few times and one dog even had their jaws around Ollie's neck. It is unfortunate that owners with aggressive dogs do not take more responsibility for their pets. A dog park is supposed to be a social place for dogs to play and not somewhere they should be scared of. Ollie still gets skittish around other dogs and is very passive. We will try to socialize him again more this summer and try to help him get over his fear.
I had a good day today. Jodi gave me the grocery budget today and gave me the responsibility which I liked. I am in charge of shopping and making the dinners for the week. Today, I made a whole chicken, some mixed vegetables on some stuffing we had left over from the holidays. I am no Gordon Ramsey but, it turned out pretty well. I want to learn to cook a variety of things and this will help me get started. I even made a roast on the weekend.
I worked out as well today. I am starting to get back in to a good rhythm again and like making it part of the daily routine. It helps with my mind too and allows me to think more clearly about what the rest of the day will look like. I need to go for a longer run tomorrow as I may have eaten quite a few mini cupcakes that were on sale. If I can continue at the gym and cut backs on some treats, then I should not have many issues getting myself back to where I want to be physically.
I applied for a job with a solar energy company in Fergus as an installer. It is a good company and they work year round which would be awesome for me. After I got back from shopping, there was a message from a job I had applied for in December with Christian Horizons. They work with young adults in the area and help them transition in to life in their communities. It would be a perfect fit for me and hopefully it will work out. I am trying not to get my hopes up too much as I do not want to be extremely disappointed if I do not get it. If it doesn't work out, then I am sure something else will turn up soon. I realize the landscaping season is only a few months a way but, I am looking for year round employment at this point. I love the landscaping industry but, need to look down the road a bit and find a job that will enable me to grow long term. It may have been different if we had actually got some snow this year but, winters are no longer what they used to be in Ontario.
Going to end for now. Was a bit of rambling tonight as I am a bit rusty with my writing skills.
Have a great night. Take care, Shawn.

Landscape Convention
I spent the day at the Landscaping Convention in Toronto today. We had a close call in the car just five minutes a way from our destination. Heather and I were talking and I was not paying attention. I almost rear ended the car in front of me and the car behind us almost hit us. I was able to get out in to the lane beside us and avoided what would have been a minor accident. Nobody would have been hurt but, it was a good reminder that it is important to focus on the road at all times while driving. I am fortunate it worked out the way it did as it would have been completely my fault.
There was so many cool displays today. Numerous lines of tractors, back hoes, skid steers, etc. A variety of landscape products and services were scattered throughout the convention center. I picked up a sharpener for my hand snips and got a sample of some Kentucky Blue Grass I want to try out. We went out for lunch at Swiss Chalet and then we headed home around two thirty.
It made me realize that spring is right around the corner. I know there is basically three months left of winter but, that will start to fly by. It got me thinking about what my plans may be and got me excited about the prospect of working outside again. Their is some snow in the forecast next week so hopefully I will get some hours at the air port. I was able to check out the skid steer I would be using there and familiarize myself with the controls. I do not have much experience with them but, know I will pick it up fairly quickly. Just a matter of getting some hours on it.
Not much planned for tonight. Think their might be a new episode of Law and Order SVU on so we will try to watch that. Heard that the Leafs fired Brian Burke today, did not expect that at all. I really hope the NHL does something for the fans in terms of ticket prices to make up for this ridiculous lockout. The problem in Toronto is that the fans will still flock back to the ACC and the displeasure of the fans will fall on deaf ears. They could in fact probably raise ticket prices and people would still go see the Leafs which I do not understand at all. The only way the NHL will know how pissed fans were about the lockout is to stop showing up to games. This will not happen of course in Canada but, I believe the markets in the southern states are going to be hit hard. The lockout in the US was a blip on the radar and I am sure a large part of the population did not even realize there had been no hockey being played. Should be interesting to see how this latest lockout will impact the economic status of the game. I do not feel bad for either side, especially in today's economy. Hundreds of thousand of people are out of work and the players and owners cannot come together for the fans that support their incomes. Bullshit I say.
That's enough from me today. Have a great night. Shawn.

Better Day
I had a much better day today. I was busier which really helped me focus on tasks, rather than on my mood. I had a physio appointment to have my left hip looked at from my fall at the airport. Then I had some painting to do at my parents. My dad and I made quick work of the basement ceiling and then I had a nice lunch and coffee with my folks. I took Ollie for a play at the arena and really enjoyed the fresh air. Jodi worked out after school so I did not get to see her until five thirty. I had gotten used to her being around for the last few weeks. As I mentioned in an earlier blog, I have trouble with transitions so getting used to her being a way again will take some time. I did not work out today but, will head back tomorrow. Just wanted to give my body a chance to recoup. All things considered, I have a fairly balanced and productive day.
I am going to the Ontario Landscape Convention tomorrow in Toronto. I went last year and am looking forward to checking out some of the latest landscape products on the market. I am picking up Heather, whom I work with, in the morning and we are heading down. I am anxious to catch up with her and hear how her holidays went. Heather is an amazing person and I am thankful I have gotten to work with her the last few years. We have a lot in common and she is easy to talk to. My boss and Sheldon are going too and it should be a good day. Is nice to have plans for the day too, a day trip is just what I need right now.
I realized this afternoon that I had not brushed my teeth in a few days. It reminded me of my deep depression days. I know I have mentioned the "downzies" before but, have never really discussed my deep bouts of depression. They would last weeks or even months. I may not brush my teeth for a week. I would go days without showering as I simply did not care about my appearance. I would lay in bed for the whole day hoping that it would end soon so I could go back to sleep. I would cry with great intensity and ask why? to whatever higher power might be listening. I did not want to see anyone. I did not want to answer the phone. I was miserable to be around and I give Jodi a lot of praise for being able to push through with my negative energy surrounding us. I did not exercise and allowed myself to get out of shape. I simply did not care about anything and my mind would constantly let me know that there was easier ways out of life. I do not miss the deep depression one bit. I have the "downzies" still but, they do not typically last for a long period of time anymore. I mentioned yesterday that I was contemplating about where my life had taken me. I realize in this moment that I have come so far and do not give myself enough credit. I look at where I was five years a go and where I am now and the difference in my mentality is incredible. Back then, I hated getting up to face the day. I still struggle now but, I am not afraid to push myself a little. I still have so far to go and want to rectify the cycle that seems to envelop me every year. Maybe I am not where I thought I would be but, it does not really matter. I am here now and have a story to tell to others. The struggles of the last twenty years would be irrelevant if I was not able to help others in some shape or form. I really hope I get a chance to speak to groups or young people. This blog is just a small step and I am thankful for it.
I am ready for a good sleep now. Hope this finds you well. Take care and thanks for listening, Shawn.

Thinking Aloud
I would say my day was lacking in motivation although, I did make it to the gym again. It was a mope around day and I was thinking about the things I could have done differently in life. Seems like a depressing way to spend a Monday but, that is where I was at. I am not dissatisfied with how far I have come in my journey but, I have been reflecting about the road I traveled to get here. I guess it is a natural thing to ponder as my birthday is fast approaching. I would never imagined that I would be where I am at 37 years old. I guess I never thought I would be anywhere really. I suppose I had dreamed of a career in teaching, owning a house and perhaps some kids. My mind had other objectives for me though, always pulling me in different directions. I have always lacked focus, drive and the ability to follow through on things.
I look at my high school friends and where they are at in their own lives and I am jealous in a way. I see what they have accomplished in their careers, finances and families. They deserve every bit of success and have worked hard for it. I just wish at times that I had been able to follow in their foot steps.
I am not complaining at all, just thinking aloud. I have so many things to be grateful for. I have a wonderful wife and a loving dog. I have great family and friends. I have people that care about me and that are proud of me. My disorder is a selfish one at times and often I can only see how the world affects me directly. I have a hard time breaking out of the bubble I find myself in at times. I find it more difficult in the winter as A) am not working B) have too much time on my hands and
C) am essentially lonely . These are just facts of life for the profession I find myself in at the moment. If we got some steady snow falls, then I would be plowing and focused on that. I am disappointed in myself for not looking in to going back to school in January. Would have given me some good direction and perhaps enhance my opportunities down the road.
I am heading to bed now to watch some Seinfeld. Always a good way to end the day, Kramer is hilarious.
Take care, Shawn.
Self pity gets in the way of self worth.

The Gym
I was fortunate to get an early birthday gift from my parents on Saturday, a gym membership to SNAP fitness. I have been the last two days and already feel better about myself. I did not go for too long, just wanted to ease my way back in to work outs. I also played squash with Jodi yesterday and my ass is pretty sore. Squash is a great work out and Jodi manged to take one off me in the last game. My mind set has already changed just from being in the gym two times. It gives me a daily routine to follow and helps motivate me to work on other aspects of my life.
I have been watching the NFL play offs this weekend. So far the first three games have been extremely boring to watch. I am hoping the Skins and Seahawks will be a bit more entertaining. I am interested to see how they play each other as their teams mirror one another in so many ways.
We were shopping today and it amazes me how absent good customer service is in our society. Employees do not make eye contact, ask if you need help or do much to make your experience an enjoyable one. They just want your money and making people happy shoppers does not seem to be a goal of many of the places we shop. The same can be said for doctors offices and hospitals. There have been so many times that I was not even greeted with a hello or a friendly smile. Those reception jobs are paid for with tax payers money, is it too much for many of those employees to treat people in a pleasant manner. Providing good customer care makes the experience more enjoyable for everyone. If someone is that miserable at their job, then I am sure there are thousands of people out of work that would be happy to replace them. I truly wish everyone who dealt with the public was trained by Disney. I learned more about great customer service in two weeks with Disney Cruise Lines than most people will in a life time. It does not take much to do but, it goes a long way to making a lasting impression on people.
My coffee is getting cold so I will end for now. Have a great week. Take care, Shawn.
A Smile is free and it has a great impact on those around you.

2013 Here We Go
A new year has started and I am optimistic for the course of the next twelve months. Their is so much turmoil on a global scale but, hopefully their will be some reconciliation with some of the major issues facing our planet. It is hard to remain positive with some of the chaos surrounding us but, today brings new hope. If a man can plummet from outer space to earth, then surely we can address some of the pressing issues before us.
The beauty of New Year's day for me is that I am feeling much better than most who celebrated last night. I do not miss being hungover to start the year and find comfort in facing 2013 with a clear mind. We had a great night at home last night and had a chance to catch up with some family and friends. My good friend Dave called me at midnight which has become a tradition between us. We are having my parents over tonight for dinner and I plan on watching some bowl games this afternoon.
I would like to thank those who read my blog in 2012, it means a lot to me. It has almost been a year now since I started writing it and I have found solace in writing my thoughts down on these pages. I hope I have been able to shed some light on my bi-polar 2 and some of what it entails for me personally. I want to take a more in depth look in 2013 at a variety of issues and will make an attempt to write more frequently.
Coffee awaits. Happy 2013. Take care, Shawn.
