LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 50 (March 3, 2007) When everything is going well, as it usually does for me nowadays, it’s hard to believe that I could ever become depressed again. Yet, it can happen, and does happen. And here I am, depressed again. Signs began appearing a couple weeks ago. I was easily moved to […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 46 (February 21, 2007) Yesterday was another great day. The Vancouver Sun photographer came to take my picture. To my surprise, he wanted more than a head and shoulder shot. He decided to take me to the roller coaster nearby and photographed me at the base of it. For a while I […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 45 (February 16, 2007) Yesterday I got a call from the Mood Disorder Association asking if I would do an interview with a columnist from the Vancouver Sun.

Read More...A good two days with visits from friends. And I think to myself, maybe this illness is not that bad. I lay down to relax with a mid-afternoon nap. But as I awoke I could not see beyond. I was sinking, unable to stop. Hopeless. Life is hopeless when it deceives you at every […]
Read More...I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. Psalm 40:1 You are good, Lord, healing while we hang tight. We wait, knowing your presence, though not feeling.
