I’ve made some adjustments to this blog. If you view it on a PC in 800 x 600 resolution, you should now be able to view the right sidebar next to the blog content. I also grew a bit exasperated with my categories. First I installed code to create pull down menus (so the list of monthly archive links doesn’t go on forever). This wasn’t enough, however, so I spent one night on the weekend paring down the categories from 24 to 13 (a baker’s dozen, yum). Some categories I condensed together. It was a bit of a challenge and some level of specificity was sacrificed, but I think it makes the blog more accessible.

I have read with interest many of your postings and it could be said there was a time I embraced all of these wonderful thoughts and theories. I believe in total honesty and fair play, I believed in people. Not so much anymore. I believed in genorosity and kindness, in being supportive to those who were in need. After watching the door being slammed in my face so many times I have splinters in my nose and a void in my soul, I belive a lot less. Where once I had faith, now I have nothingness, and for the most part at least now I know holes come from. Keep up the excellent writting I know there are people out there who could learn from your words. Thanks
I can understand the weariness that sets in when life erodes one’s beliefs.
I write in this blog as a form of public service, but it is also a scrapbook of things that catch my eye, that I want to remember and share. It’s something to return to when I need heartening. Writing is a form of mental health management for me. This blog presents a more positive, spiritual tone. However, I do have two other personal blogs (one for family to read and one for deep psychological writing that is completely anonymous). I’m telling you this so that you can know that what you see here is one aspect of me — I struggle too. It’s what makes me human and hopefully a good therapist.
I stopped by and read a little of your journal. I myself have major depression with multiple episodes, though it’s in remission. For now. I also have dysthymia, but not as perniciously.
Thank you for visiting, and for taking time to connect.
