LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 246 (August 18, 2009) Life is a balancing act. Trying to find balance between work and play, solitude and being with others, quiet times and busy times. I’ve been working hard to find such a balance now-a-days. My last holiday showed me how refreshing it is to have down times. Times away […]
Read More...Looking over the previous blog from 2009 I see how the degree of wellness I had during my Living Room days had not been as great as I remembered. I had a lot of instability. Long periods of depression and then highs when I started planning and organizing far more than I could manage. Today […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 244 (July 9, 2009) Yesterday morning I was reminded of the fact that I will never be a completely stable person. I thought God had answered my prayers and the prayers of my friends, bringing me to a return of joy and – I thought – stability. However, I’ve discovered that the […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 243 (July 7, 2009) Wow! Over the past little while I have found out what happiness truly feels like. I’ve been removed from that feeling for so long and become so unfamiliar with it that I actually feel kind of high, though my friends say I’m acting quite normal. Just the happy […]
Read More...As in the post I wrote in 2009, I wonder: Am I like the person I used to be? I do think I’m starting to get there and what a wondrous thing that is. Is this for real and will it continue? In November 12th last year, I lay in an emergency room bed, waiting […]

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 240 (June 18, 2009) Thank God. Living Room is in good hands. We had a volunteer offer to coordinate and facilitate the July and August meetings.

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 239 (June 11, 2009) It has been a long time since I posted. Things haven’t been good. Every once in a while a good day and every once in awhile an absolutely horrendous day. I am grateful for the good weather we’ve had. I’ve been able to spend the early morning hours […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 238 (May 27, 2009) After a couple of days of sleeping through most of the day, and after a full night’s sleep last night, I awoke this morning feeling more positive. I feel ready to start rebuilding. And I am grateful that God has brought me to this place this morning. Were […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 237 (May 24, 2009) I haven’t found the stability I had hoped for. Am once more on a downward spiral and it gets quite tiresome. Every time I find some hope, I fall down again. One step forward and two steps back. And although I know my problem is medical, I also […]
