If At First You Don’t Succeed . . .

The process for finding and meeting a psychologist isn’t hard, but when you are depressed it seems like a pathway strewn with obstacles. At each roadblock, it is easy to just give up. Having overcome some of those setbacks, I would strongly encourage anyone who is feeling unusually despondent to stick with it. With the […]

For All the Solo People

Covid-19 has given us all a new experiment in living. We are all (or most of us) trying to maintain social distances, wear masks, and wash our hands for twenty seconds. As the weeks and months have passed, we have gotten better at this. We now automatically make more space when we pass people on […]

Twitter: It’s A Love/Hate Thing.

I have been an avid user of Twitter for a couple of years. You might say I’ve been enamored or addicted. Today, though, I decided our love affair is over. It’s been good, Twitter, but you became abusive. Now I have chosen to leave. For a few months now I have been troubled by how […]

Take No Notice: I’m Just Having a Grumble.

Back in the 1960s, there was a musical stage show called Stop the World–I Want to Get Off. I never saw it, but the title has often come to mind as being appropriate for personal, social, or political reasons.  Today it seems relevant from all three perspectives. I am living with pain which, in turn, […]

Sloth: The Misunderstood Sin

If you ask someone what sloth or slothfulness is, they’ll probably talk about idleness or laziness. They might think about the animal called a sloth and of its slow ponderous walk or the animated cartoon sloth in the film Zootopia. They probably would not be thinking about sin. I don’t normally think about sin at […]

How to Cure a Flu Funk

I’ve been in a serious funk for the last few days.  It felt as though I had oncoming flu, but the flu never came. I had a headache, neck ache, earache and general malaise. Basically, I have just felt like sleeping a lot and dozing in between watching made-for-TV movies. I probably had some sort […]

Make-up Changes More Than Appearances

Blogging about my funk last week made a significantly positive impact on my sense of well-being, and I was surprised how liberated I felt after writing it all down. I was able to stir myself enough to finish crocheting a hat that I had promised a friend.  It was a pussy hat, and I hope […]

Who Do You Think You Are?

Who do you think you are? Are you whatever is in your mind? Are you who you see in the mirror? Are you whatever other people think of your appearance? Jamie (MustBeTuesday) recently posted a video on body positivity that taught me a valuable lesson. He explained that we tend to think of the “self” […]
