Long week

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Man I’m glad it’s Friday. I’ve been working on so many different things this week that I’ve completely lost all track of what day it is, which makes the week seem really, really long! You know, because like Weds night I wasn’t thinking “two more days until the weekend”, I was just getting through Weds and then moving on to Thursday without any thought as to anything past that.

I’ll still be doing quite a bit of work with computers over the weekend, but at least I’ll be able to get some extra sleep and spend some time with Angela. The stuff that usually makes me feel a little less run-down. 🙂

Maybe I’ll even get out of my overly geek mode and be sociable too? I’m sure she’d enjoy that!

Hope you have a good one!

    Little Over a Year

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Yes, it’s been a little over a year since I announced the launch of the Survivors Network site. Like most years of my life, this year didn’t exactly go as planned either, and changes in my job caused me to spend less time there, and less time working on my websites in general, as I…

    Regardless of which side of the going to war fence you are on, I hope you can at least agree that the families of the servicemen and women who are currently deployed in the Middle East deserve our support at this time. In that vein, Natalie is setting up Operation Civilian Support to: – Accept…

  • Deep Thoughts

    I was looking through some of the tech blogs I normally read, when I discovered something that touched that part of me that struggles with depression and self-esteem issues. It was this post on “Just Another Geek’s Blog that touched me: “When the realization hit that I was ‘happy with myself’ for that one moment…

  • It’s the end of 2018, and You’re Still Here. Make Some Noise!

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I’m sure by now you’ve read enough articles, blog posts and social media messages about making your resolutions for 2019. This is not one of those. It’s not that I’m against it. The end of one year and the beginning of another is a good opportunity to pause and reflect on where we have been,…

  • World Suicide Prevention Day 2021

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 4 minutes

    So, the thing I want us to talk about this year is not just encouragement to call a hotline or to reach out to a friend for help, or even to tell our stories and erase the stigma around mental health issues. I want us to consider doing more than that. I want us, as a society, to figure out how to provide hope. As much value as there is in all of those other things if I can’t provide some hope that things will get better, that we are working and advocating for things to get better across all areas of our culture, then I can’t honestly say that there is a reason for someone to hope, and at the end of the day, the thing that truly prevented me from taking my own life when I was at my worst, was the hope that life wouldn’t always be that painful.

    As it turned out, my life wasn’t always that painful, and even in times of pain, I can look back and remember that.

    How do we provide that hope for others who have been beaten down and worn out with life right now? Where does their hope come from?
