LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 250 (September 21, 2009) I have something coming up at the end of this week that is not going to be the most straight forward challenge to tackle. I’ve been invited to speak to a group of around twenty people who have lost a loved one to suicide. They’d like to hear […]
Read More...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.

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 243 (July 7, 2009) Wow! Over the past little while I have found out what happiness truly feels like.

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 242 (July 4, 2009) I want to write about how much better I’m feeling, but think it would be best if I simply copy here an email I sent to some friends letting them know: “Shortly before we left on our holiday I wrote this to you: I don’t know what’s normal […]
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.
