“We Apologize for the Inconvenience.”

        I've been a little lax in writing the past, few weeks, because a friend of mine came into the country for a visit, and so we've been busy.  But there have been a few things I've noticed while exploring my world with them which I've noticed elsewhere at other times, but at times like these they stand out so sharply I just want to squeak!  There are other posts I've made which touch on a similar vein of this topic*, so clearly this is something that I feel needs to be addressed once in a while.

Well, That Was Unexpected!

        This was something I was going to post to those in my more personal life, elsewhere, and thought I might as well share it here, and then share this, there.  I've been feeling so brain dead lately, and I wrote this whole, freakin' thing, so why not?  Might as well know me for me, World! lol!

        So, here we go...

So Now We Know, and Onward We Go

        Inasmuch as I have been sharing the continuing saga of my search to find answers for myself, I suppose it would be appropriate to share what has happened this past week, as some major, significant events transpired to illuminate a lot of what has been going on!  So let's get on that, hmm?

Working on Standing Up to Be Counted!

        Some perspective to be added to that expressed all across the 'net in behalf of those who need others to understand.  Not chewing anyone out, nor trying to give tickets to any kind of guilt trip; just trying to do my part to help spread understanding, empathy and compassion to this world.  As usual, I've no idea what will be falling out of my head and into this post, but whatever it will be, I hope someone can benefit from it.

Revisiting That Special Request

        My friends, I have to admit, the response to that last, blog post was absolutely phenomenal, and unexpected!  I had no idea so many people would respond in such powerful, positive and understanding ways, publicly and privately!

        When I discussed the post with the friend who originally inspired it, they had some comments which, when combined with some I received from others, made me realize a follow-up post needed to be made.  This made deciding on a post topic for this week rather simple, even if the composing of the post has not been so easy!  Once again, I hope I do justice to those whose lives and hearts were touched by the things covered in that last post.

A Very Special Request

I'll warn you, now... this post will cover a rather serious, mental health topic, but one which is evidently, very much needed, and often gets overlooked, but this post may not be suitable for every reader.

For those who are struggling, right now, there may be some triggers for you, and you may want to consider giving yourself some time before reading it, if you read it at all, hopefully in a time it won't be so difficult.

For those who love someone who has struggled, whether or not they are in some semblance of recovery, you may want to seriously consider reading it as a way to possibly find some answers.  I don't promise you'll find the ones you need, but it might open you to some ideas, anyway.

Ignorance Isn't the Bliss You'd Like It to Be

        I'm not usually one to directly share links to other entities, here on this blog, partly because I am very aware that there are a LOT of "awareness" days, weeks, months, etc.; but this one is different. This one is important to me, in a very personal and unique way.

Waits, Weights, Measures and Letting Go

        Dang; how on earth do you let go of something so silly, yet clings to emotional memory and smacks you in the heart, every time something reminds you of it?

Phenomenal Umbrella Research!

        Yesterday at the pool clinic, there was some interesting discussion on Fibromyalgia that proves that no matter how quickly modern medicine find answers, there will always be a problem getting the answers out properly to everyone, no matter the topic.
