One must experience the darkness to fully appreciate the light.
In order to maintain good mental health, I've decided to praise myself more often. This is what I've done today. Managed to make it through the work day with a smile on my face. Wasn't as sad about politics because I focused my attention on Beyoncé's pregnancy! (Psst. Did you see those pics? If not, … Continue reading Day 39: Small Victories
It's Monday again. Let's make this week amazing. Better than the last, at least.
Every day, I tell myself that I won't read any news. Every day, I tell myself that I need to be taking better care of myself. Every day, I tell myself that I won't cry. Every day, I tell myself that I can handle another heartache. I'm failing. I'm not okay right now. Millions of … Continue reading Day 35: More Aching
Things are still mostly okay for me. I have no right to complain when there are so many in worse condition than I am. I'm grateful for every blessing I receive. However... I still hurt.

I have no other word for yesterday. I started my day having discovered that a sick cat had shit all over my desk chair and computer keyboard. Appalling and impressive at the same time.

This is a large issue for everyone and since I'm such a helpful person, I'm going to list a few definitions to help whomever … Continue reading Day 29: Definitions
I can honestly say that I feel slightly more hopeful about the future of the nation. Women are not going quietly and I love it. I attended my local march and was moved to tears buy the beauty of so many people stepping out for what's right. Estimates say there were over 30,000 people marching … Continue reading Day 27: Women’s March
The new American president will be sworn in tomorrow. I'm not pleased about it. Most of the country isn't pleased and I can only hope that nobody gets hurt. There are as many differing opinions as there are people, many on the more violent end of things. I just hope nothing bad happens during the … Continue reading Day 25: Zero hour
I've attracted more followers since I've been writing more regularly. How wonderful! To you I say; Hello and welcome. I'm really not as crazy as I seem and I love talking to new people. If you've been following me for a while, I hope we've had a chance to connect. If not, I want to apologize. … Continue reading Day 22: Hello again
