Find a place inside where there’s joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.
                 --Joseph Campbell

   I haven't found that place inside me yet, but I'm glad that I love to write, cook, and bake. I guess, since that's my joy, that is possibly my place inside. When I'm pissed off or feeling hurt, or if I'm  worried, or feeling lonely, I cook and bake, and while what I'm baking is in the oven, I write. Or I go to the gym. So far today I baked 4 cakes. No reason, and for no one. This afternoon I'll bring them to a homeless shelter on my way to the gym. It doesn't take the pain away, but someone gets to benefit from it.  My workouts are always better when I'm not in a good mood.
