Hey, y’all–Please forgive me for not posting for so long. I really have no excuse but busy. But even that is no excuse, and I promise I will do better. I’ve been reading alot lately. Next to yard sales, it’s my favorite thing to do. Really! I guess because before I was stabilized on medication […]

Hey, y’all–Was just sitting here thinking I wanted to post on here and see how everyone was doing… wanted to share what was up with me and all…and thought, well, nothing is really new! No real pearls of wisdom to share or anything. Just an OK day. But then I thought, these days “just an […]

Hey, y’all–Hope you had a good holiday, and not too stressful. Mine was spent in the emergency room, with raised hives from head to toe! Allergic reaction, but they don’t know from what. So I had to be off my meds for 2 days and without sleep for 2 nights because they had me on […]

For instances, it is a miracle that I am even alive today. I lived a very self-destructive lifestyle […]

Hey, y’all– I just wanted to thank everyone for being so supportive during my recent depression. Your comments were so encouraging, and I appreciated every one–although it was a bit convicting to read my own words written back at me! Nicolep wrote and reminded me that I had previously posted on here: “Give it one […]

Being true to my word about posting about both the ups and downs of living with bipolar disorder, I have to share about how I feel today, which is the down side of this insidious disorder. I swear, if this thing were a physical entity (I picture it like a dragon, spewing fire out of […]

Y’all are gonna love this! I actually went on a date. Yeah, me! First time in over two years. Let me tell you about it. Ok, confession time first. Now, don’t laugh. Promise? Ok. I signed up on a telephone Date Line. Aw, see? There you go laughing. I knew you would (chuckle). Well, really, […]
