What a day yesterday was. I woke up to sunny skies and reasonable temperatures – prompting me to wear jeans and thin long sleeve shirt to work. By lunch time around 1:00 PM, it was feeling humid outside (to wimpy ole’ me) and warm. I was regretting my clothing selection.<\/P>
\n

Then the wind started picking up. People were getting violently attacked all around me. By acorns, that is. It’s always fun until somebody loses and eye…and I suspect New England emergency rooms must have had their fill yesterday. Then the rains started. Wind-driven heavy bands of rain rendering umbrellas useless.<\/P>
\n

By the time I left work, the temperature had dropped into the mid 50’s. Once again, I regretted by fashion choice for the day and wished I had brought a light jacket.<\/P>
\n

But then the real fun began! I attended my first therapy session (hence the title to today’s blog…get it?). Anyway, he’s located near Central Square in an old Victorian House. For a first session, it went well. Basically, I just re-hashed the drama that’s been going on over the course of the past 12 months and told him what type of therapist I wanted. I’m looking for a guy who will listen, probe, guide the direction of conversation and ultimately provide advise. I’ve only been to therapy a few times in my life but do know that I’ve had the best results with ones that ultimately advised…so many just listened. <\/P>
\n

And listening is helpful. I find it very therapeutic to vent. Hell, I’ve been doing it to my friends for ages, and even this blog has been a beneficial release for me. But in the end,  I think I need guidance as well. Don’t worry – I’m not going to go all Danny Bonaduce on your ass and chronicle my therapy progress on here for the world to see. But hopefully you’ll notice a more upbeat Snarl in the coming weeks\/months.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
