procrastination nation

The lyrics which I have started this blog by" emotional landscapes" seem to fit my life so well right now. I went on a date this evening and found myself giving someone unsolicited advice ,as usual, but at the same time I found myself being kind of a motivational speaker. I was helping this fellow parent, fellow human being, traverse the terrain of life, I was helping him learn how to climb his emotional landscapes. I was using such great analogies I was internally smiling at all the wonderful references I was making. I think at some point I said" yeh its like you are using a machete to cut down the trees in your path" in response to some comment on how he was figuring out his path . I also assured him when he felt bad for having to leave early because he had to go give a friend a massage, to make money, that it was all good. I used examples from my own life(being a single parent longer than he) that things would indeed get better with time. I even gave him pointers on how to go back to school to further his career, or at least compliment the one he already had.I sometimes feel as though I should go back to school and finish my degree to become a therapist, then i would get paid for all this free advice that i am giving to these lovely souls.
