I've only shown up once, so maybie give another go? *shrug* your possibly also right that their is a sense of urgency mixed with: well I'm as was said in the hobbit: 'Well prserved' so that might be contributing to: ok ok If I'm going to oh as a concrete example: ok ok if I want to at least try a more coloful clothing and have fun with that then I real should do so a little faster then not, I am a little imaptaint for health because I sort of feel it's silly to let health concerns drag out for to long. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for the advice I genuinely appreciate it!</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 11, 2018 at 1:06 PM, Steven A Smith <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sasmyth@swcp.com" target="_blank">sasmyth@swcp.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p>FWIW, I can sense that you might be on the edge of your own
"symmetry break"... that you are struggling hard to break some
patterns which have (apparently) worked well enough for you for
some time, but which seem not to (current psych doc, current GP,
daily activities, exercise habits, etc.) any longer. <br>
</p>
<p>This might naturally have you thinking/acting on much shorter
time scales (being impatient for change) than normal ... I also
offer you the general advice to not make more than one fundamental
life change at a time. Certainly acquiring a new gym partner,
finding new outlets/venues for your newly found love of dance are
not overly extreme, but probably will take some time to effect and
settle in.</p>

<div>That leads to the awkward question then: If people are
leaving and or it's a technical problem, Anyone know how
do-able it is to give either the current list a fresh coat of
paint or somehow smoothly transition into a general fun witty
bantery type of list. As I have no clue how email lists get
set up and going "just" may simply a petty heafty task ^_^</div>

<div>I've gotten a lot of FRIAM postings from Nick, Frank,
Marcus, and Glen lately about philosophy regarding
belief and doubt, so it doesn't appear to be dead.
However, it doesn't seem to be getting officially
archived any more, which is a shame. I believe Glen said
that he keeps all emails, so he probably could be tapped
to supply the missing posts should anyone decide to
resurrect the archive by combining the old archive (from
<a href="http://web.archive.org" target="_blank">web.archive.org</a>) with
Glen's posts. So far, nobody has stepped up.</div>
