What up, 2019?
I had 11 days off over Christmas and New Year! I usually love taking that time to reflect, plan, and look ahead at the coming year. This time I did a tiny bit of that, but mostly I slept, watched telly, played video games, cooked food, and basically did as little as possible. I obviously…

Thankfulness
Just because I am not celebrating Thanksgiving this week doesn’t mean I am not thankful. I will admit, I wish I was in Virginia celebrating it this year, partly because they are getting snow and man, I miss me a good snow storm. But I digress. I believe that everyone, everywhere has something to be thankful…

2013: The Year in Lessons
2013 for me started and finished much the same – with pretty horrible depressive episodes. Both were triggered by work-related stress.

The Lies Depression Tells
Depression is cruel and although I’ve dealt with it for most of my life it’s been a rare thing that it hasn’t been manageable. I can certainly count those times on one hand and am thankful that I have support and love from people in my life to help me through. 2013 didn’t have a…

Living in the Moment
Last night we went to London and saw Jason Mraz. I have liked his music since his first album, then as you do, things move on. His latest albums however, brought me back to him. The messages in his music are something I need in my life right now. Don’t worry, live in the moment,…

Time
(Source) I have time this morning that I don’t usually have. Time to wake up properly, at a pace that seems reasonable to me. Time to think, read, connect and enlighten myself. I was reading someone’s website and it occurs to me that I used to be some of the things I see there. Artistic,…
