Your password has expired(過(guò)期), a server message flashed on my screen, with instructions for changing it. Coming up with a new code doesn39。t seem like a big deal, unless you work at my pany, where we have to change it monthly, using at least one uppercase character, one lowercase character, one symbol, and one numeral. Oh, and the whole darn thing can39。t be fewer than eight characters. And I can39。t use any of the same passwords I39。ve used in the past three months. Suddenly I was furious. What didn39。t make it any better was that I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce. Disbelief over what she had done to me was all I thought about. Every day. My anger didn39。t mean anything to the empty input field with a pulsating cursor (閃動(dòng)的光標(biāo)), waiting for me to type a password that I39。d have to reenter — many times — for the next 30 days.

In my mind, I wrote Forgive her every day. The simple action changed the way I looked at my exwife. That constant reminder of reconciliation led me to accept the way things had happened at the end of my marriage and embrace a new way of dealing with my depression. As the month wore on, I felt a slow healing begin to take place. By the time my server prompted me to reset my password the following month, I felt free. One month later, my dear Exchange server asked me yet again to reset my password. I thought about the next thing that I had to get done. My password became Quit@smoking4ever. I quit smoking overnight. This password was a painful one to type during that month, but doing it helped me to yell at myself in my mind as I typed that statement. It motivated me to follow my mon
