LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 100 (September 15, 2007) In their comments a couple of blogging pals say how they wish they could find a place of worship like mine. I’m hoping that this post will help you understand that this support has only grown gradually, over time. I had to educate members of the congregation and […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 90 (August 8, 2007) A couple of days ago I felt so awful, even thinking I might be on the edge of depression again – all because I felt I had been leaning too heavily on my friends – bothering them too much with my phone calls and emails. Today I feel […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 81 (July 14, 2007) Living Room went well yesterday, even if there were only eight participants this time. Many were on holidays or just feeling the summer laziness.

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 78 (June 22, 2007) Things have come together. I no longer feel so dizzy and stressed. And I’m sure it’s all because we had a Living Room meeting this afternoon. How therapeutic that group is for me, even if I am the leader – probably because I am the leader! I get […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 63 (April 18, 2007) Yesterday I had a call from a therapist who wanted to know about Living Room.

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 52 (March 11, 2007) Thank God, I did pull out of that two-week down time! I was so worried it was the beginning of something big, but it was just another little blip. At times like this, I wonder though: how much of my surfacing back to the stable old me was […]
Read More...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.

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 29 (November 25, 2006) I was going to tell you about how amazing Living Room was yesterday. I was going to tell you about how at peace I felt when I came home and how I felt God so close. He is really at work in this group. There were 12 of […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 28 (November 21, 2006) You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.
