my life as a cube-making robot

Everybody views the world from their own perspective. I saw the movie Wall-e this weekend, so the things currently bopping around my mind kinda got packaged in this context. For those who haven't seen the trailer, Wall-e is a little robot, whose sole job is to compact trash into cubes and neatly stack them. After the movie I was thinking this is a pretty good analogy for how I handle some aspects of my life. Unpleasant emotions or memories? -Crunch- into a convenient form and organized away. Of course this was all being done by my subconscious (which is just the program human brains run), so for many years I really didn't realize it. Recent conversations with good friends (and new ones) have brought this out into the open.
How this is relevant to me is that internalizing this stuff will clog your mind and body with such unwanted garbage (negative emotions) that potentially serious harm will result. The body just does what the mind tells it to. For example: I tend to carry some stresses around by tensing my shoulders. Once again subconsciously, but the end result is the same - sore shoulders.
So I am searching myself, trying to find and release all this stored up junk. It is not easy, and I cannot do it alone. Having supporting family and friends is such a huge boost, even if they don't know they are helping.
I am working on several different aspects of my life now. Some are small, some not so. My intent is to be a better Daniel; to myself and to those I love.

Let's toast to our good health!
