For those following, thank you for the patience during our interrupted broadcast. I am on the mend, and life is feeling better. I read somewhere that we feel like everyone else is an extra in the feature film that is our life. We don't appreciate or sense that they probably feel the same way about… Continue reading “Extras”

So what’s positive about depression
It is easy to get stuck in the spiral that is depression. Hell, I am still working my way out of this particular hole. The days are both long and short and fraught with the feeling of being overwhelmed. I am cracking and breaking and still I take on more and more to find some… Continue reading So what’s positive about depression
Finding acceptance
