Since our minister at church is on vacation, I had the honor of conducting the sermon yesterday. My topic was, of course, mental health. I posted this earlier, but unfortunately the link was broken. So, here it is without a link. I hope you enjoy reading it, and please give me some feedback. I’m Not […]
Up The Weight Goes Again – Dammit!
Well, my Weight Watchers weigh in was this morning and I’m not happy. I’m not surprised at all, but, I’m still not happy. Last week I weighed 225.2. This week I weighed 228.2!!! That’s a 3 pound gain. (sigh) I’m trying not to beat myself up over it but that’s hard when I saw it […]
You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby
Wow what a difference a few years makes. When I started this blog in 2008 I was a mess. During that time I could not talk in a complete sentence. I would start a sentence and midway through I would draw a blank and have no idea what I was going to say. I would freeze for a […]
Vincent
I posted this beautiful tribute to Vincent Van Gogh a few months back. Since then I’ve gained many new readers and I decided to show it again. Because I can relate to the pain that Vincent had during his lifetime, I feel a deep bond with him. There are many creative tributes to Vincent on […]
Nuthin’ Special
I went up again on Saturday’s official weigh in. I increased my weight to 225 pounds which is nearly a 2 pound gain. At one time I had lost net 90 pounds. But now I’m at a net 78 pounds lost. This is disheartening, because I worked so hard for those 90 pounds. I know going back […]
Fun Friday: Mini Warbler
This video went viral a few years ago, but I still think it’s fun. It’s a little boy dancing and singing to songs on Glee, but you don’t have to watch Glee to appreciate what a sharp little cutie this kid is. Enjoy
Where’s My Funny Bone?
When I first started this blog I was a fucking mess. I would cry for no reason, I became agoraphobic and could not leave the apartment. I became unable to answer the phone, and I would confuse easily and even get lost if I was able to force myself out the door. I had such […]
Clear Skies
The impending doom feeling that I had in my previous post has cleared. The world is still spinning, I can hear children outside playing. All is good from my perspective. It really was a horrible feeling and I’m glad it’s gone. In fact, my depression is much lower this week. I still feel that […]
Doom is Back
I had a good weekend, overall. Friday night Maurice and I had a nice dinner and then went to see a movie. Saturday we drove to the desert to visit his parents and had a good time, and Sunday we had lunch and great conversation with friends. The weather was hot but we had beautiful skies. […]
I’m Not Crazy, I’m Just a Little Unwell
The title of this post is from the song Unwell by Matchbox twenty. I used that line as the title of the sermon I will be doing at church on the 21st. I had written most of the sermon when I first listened to this song. I had heard it many times before, but never […]
