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. And many hands have offered to help with all the other details, like the lunches. I’ve had some good days and then some bad. On the […]
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 214 (December 27, 2008) Regrets and shame have brought me down lately. I’m good one day, and then something triggers me to turn to those negative emotions and thoughts and I go deeply dark. But, if I were able to get things into better perspective, the way I should and the way […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 212 (December 12, 2008) In spite of the snow that kept a lot of people from attending our party, we had sixteen people. It was a wonderful, intimate time.

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 211 (December 11, 2008) I had a wonderful day yesterday. I started off by baking my first batch of cookies. That energized me.

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 210 (December 9, 2008) I’ve been on a roller coaster for about two months now – times when I’ve been okay and other times when I’ve felt very down, not knowing how I can continue, wishing I could get off the ride.

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 208 (November 24, 2008) Today I decided to let someone else lead Living Room for awhile, as I give myself a chance to recover from this down period.

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 207 (November 22, 2019) My depression is dragging on, but in a roller coaster fashion – some days really bad, some not so bad. What occurs to me is that I’m actually in a position to learn a lot right now. I’ve been wanting to write about how a person can best […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 206 (November 18, 2008) I woke up this morning in true depressed form, feeling awash with negative thoughts and bad feelings.
