Daily Mo Update
Finally, a breakthrough of sorts. After shaving today, my wife spotted it when she got home from work. She came through the door and we said all the usual “hello, how was your day” stuff and then she stopped. The looked at me with this little smile and kissed me deeply for a moment, then pulled away. Back again, smirking at me, she looks down at my lip and says “so there it is, huh”. She likes it for now, she’ll like it even better when there’s a beard with it. Not that she said that but I know what she likes.
Movember Awareness
Growing a Mo is not always easy. It takes a bit of love and patience and keeping in mind that you are doing this for the good of other people. I know why I’m doing this— for people like me who have suffered and still are with their depression. Find out more about how YOUR Mo can help at MoBro.com!

Daily Mo Update
Orange is the new black or something…
While depression can be caused by a chemical imbalance, a lot of men, and people in general, also struggle with a type of self defeating, cyclical depression. Somewhere along the line, negativity was impressed upon them and reinforced to the point where the voice inside their own head echoes the sentiment. The negativity depresses them and causes self doubt. The self doubt depresses them even more. If we could just shake that negativity out, perhaps the depression would fade. For those of you who can relate to this: “Beliefs drive behaviors and self-limiting beliefs lead to self-defeating behaviors. Believe in yourself and your abilities.” If you don’t stop beating yourself up or predicting your own failure, you will continue down this destructive path. For those of you who know someone who struggles with this: help them to understand this concept, and reassure them that their doubts and demons that they fight everyday are unfounded.

Daily Mo Update
Apropo for the time of year. Also, probably couldn’t find this many, not-yet-decayed leaves, on the ground any other time of year… Mustache and beard are past the itchy point. Now they are into the SUPER ITCHY territory. Ooooh yes!
It was around 50 today. Beautiful for my tastes: cold enough to wear a light jacket, but warm enough to work up a sweat if you wanted to (and not freeze). I’m an oven all year long, so I enjoy the cooler (not cold) months.
Movember Awareness
Everything in life comes in a circle. Time. Space… Circles. Seriously though, our lives are comprised of billions of interlocking circles. We’re like giant Venn diagrams of everything we’ve ever done and everything we’ve ever wanted to be. All of it goes around and comes around— including depression.

Weird day today, but it’ll be ok. No permanent damage.
I know if I’m stressed out, a little exercise will help, and there’s a few people I can call if things get too heavy.
Speaking of heavy, my moustache is getting serious.
