Hiya LisB !!!

Finding oneself is the hardest reality show to watch. Been there too.

This is great, Lis. You

This is great, Lis. You write with such honesty and humor, I know when I start reading your pieces I won't be able to tear myself away until you've finished.

Glad to hear that your mom's dementia was only temporary. People still tend to think depression is one of those things one can just snap out of, but often it takes just the right combination of savvy doctors and the right meds, along with time and patience.

I think you sell yourself short when you say it had nothing to do with you. Loneliness leads to depression all too often, and just having a warm body in the house can make all the difference. (Hey, it could be that all that cat-fighting was just the ticket, too! Gave her a reason to get up in the morning. . .)

My only complaint is that you don't write often enough here at dag.

Oh, and my other complaint is that you won't consider being friends for life with the women-folk here.

I don't see what that has to do with anything.

It could happen, you know. . .

Holy crap, y'all are too

Holy crap, y'all are too kind.

I wrote this in a very drunken state in the wee hours after St. Pat's Day. It's a wonder any of you read it, LOL.

But, thank you. Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Therapy IS a wonderful tool and I'm so glad I'm able to use all my hard-earned money on it. I hadn't realized how much I needed it.

And living here with my mother in PA, my eldest sister just a few minutes away, has been wonderful too. So thanks for all the good wishes.

I'll let you all know how it goes at the Pike County Dem meeting on Thursday night. I'm looking forward to it.

"I may meander
through some fields and forests, but
I'll find my way home."

And so will you, LisB.

Your words, so honest.

Your self-critique inspires.

Peace; within your grasp.

This is great LisB. Takin a

This is great LisB.

Takin a chance and seeking out some guidance and comfort.

But Smith tells me:

I'll find my way home.

In my experience, job changes

In my experience, job changes often lead us to reconsider that which we take for granted while we are immersed in the workaday routine—partially because we suddenly have more time to reflect, partially because we suddenly have to reconsider every penny we spend. And of course, you find out who really, "loves ya, baby," when times are tough.

There is a crack, a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.

Hi LisB!

lis, so much positive news

lis, so much positive news within this post - lessons learned, healing hearts/minds ensuring a future rife with love, laughter and new life skills. And new 'tools' acquired to support and protect you and yours!

It really is a gift you have given us with your message - at the very least a reminder that we can not only survive, but prevail over life's trials - and be enriched from the experience.

You can't do much better, IMO, than to be 'just' you - unique, loving, kind, creative and a blessing for all of us who have been fortunate enough to meet up with you as we traverse our life's path.

Thanks for caring about you and us.

Nice Lis. Good for you.
