Within the disappearing woods I live. The city seems to be creeping in by means of suburbia. As the world around me changes, I am changing as well. My friends like to come to me for advice. This has been true for a much of my life. Maybe it is because I like to let others talk, or maybe it is because I put their words into another perspective to help them work through their problems. Whatever the case may be, I have decided to create a journal of it all so that others might benefit.
