Here’s hoping that 2007 is a great year full of healing and health for all of us.

And thank you all for reading, and contributing to the survivor community on-line. 2006 was a great year, I look forward to more of the same in 2007!

Fun thought for the day

A co-worker sent me this yesterday and it just cracked me up:

Some people are like Slinkies …

Not really good for anything,

But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Hope you’re having a good weekend!

Happy New Year

Angela and I are spending a quiet New Year’s Eve at home, which is just fine with me, being with her is the only place in the world I would choose to be on any special occasion.

As we look back at the tragedies and triumphs of 2004, both personal and world-wide, I hope we can all resolve to learn to make healthy decisions and enjoy all the little things life has to offer in 2005.

Full body smile

MikeM — Thu, 08 Apr 2004 11:54:25 +0000

My wife has a description of what we call my neice’s “full body smile”, and she’s right. It’s something that far too many adults don’t know how to do anymore. We’ve really lost the ability to simply feel the unbridled joy of a particular moment. We tend to think of people who do it as childish, or immature, or maybe even just plain ignorant. Maybe they’re a lot smarter than we think. Maybe we’re just too concerned with every day stress to really enjoy life. That’s a shame.

I hope my neice never grows out of her full body smiling, because it’s beautiful.

This struck me as funny

Christmas Carols for the Psychiatrically Challenged

It made me smile and I’ve always felt that you have to have a sense of humor about anything, especially when it comes to dealing with depression and other things. I’ll be the first one to make fun of my own illness, it helps me deal with it. It is also a really great way to quickly determine who among your friends will be best capable of talking to about it. Those people who don’t laugh or seem slighly put-off by it are probably going to be the people who walk around on eggshells trying not to upset the “sick person”, instead of treating them like the same human beings they were before they got sick! You don’t want to depend too heavily on those people.

A fun blog?

While surfing around today I noticed Dave Barry’s blog. Now as someone who firmly believes that the best way to stay sane is to find little things that just make you laugh every now and then, this looks like a good place to find some when you need it!
