ANGER

I have a marked tendency towards anger.

Especially when an adult makes what I'm sure is meant to be a "cute comment." I have a tendency to overreact due to my childhood background.

I was teased, ridiculed, rejected by my peers from approximately age eight until seventeen.

I can remember incidents of ridicule directed at me when I was sixteen. I can remember because the summer of 1982 I went on a Europe school group trip and I remember most of the experience.

Not sure if that occurred during my subsequent senior year of high school. Rejection certainly. Active ridicule I'm not sure. And I don't know if it's worth "going back into the brain" to try and remember.

To be continued....

MY BIRTHDAY HAS COME AND GONE...

...So could someone please let me know HOW THE HELL I GOT TO BE FIFTY YEARS OLD!?

IT'S SEP 11!

Big anniversary of big chaos.

So it goes...as said Kurt Vonnegut.

AUGUST AUGUST

Late summer.

But I don't have to worry about that lousy back to school stuff!

Again..I am trying to keep depression at bay!

Summer is no guarantee apparently.

I may need to go on meds again.

SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER!

It's summer!

Growing tomatoes and trying to love life!

2015 is nearly half over!

Where does the time go?

I will be happy happy happy.

I will do what I can to prevent depression.

I did volunteer work yesterday at Schaumburg IL "Feed My Starving Children." Forty-five minutes of hand-packing meals to be shipped to children in Haiti. The facility is totally donation funded. There are no machines in the food packing area. Volunteers (last night I was one of them!) complete the packing work!
