We went out doing domestic stuff this afternoon. The sun shone and I felt better, remembered to pop my pills so nothing hurt that much.
But I had a nagging feeling in my gut telling I should not have posted my last post(meritocracy). I tend to keep those fthougths to myself! It is really quite easy to write too much on a blog and feel exposed.
Anyhow, I got home and was pleasantly surprised, actually releived and moved by the kind comments you have left.
So thank you. I really appreciate the thought and effort you put in.
Another long stretch, but hoping to be more regular

Just wanted to share with you that my older daughter is also bi-polar. Right now she is doing very well, but I know that can change rapidly.
Also wanted to say that I am happy that today is a better day for you.

Colin,
I have to comment about your feelings of not having posted your post. I also get a feeling after sharing about the childhood abuse that I suffered. A feeling almost of guilt and shame at having revealed so much about myself and worrying that someone will think less of me because of it.
I have gotten better about this and feel that while I sometimes think I wasn't the best mother, I tried to be different than my mother. Now as a grandmother, I try to do things in an even better way than I did as a mother - especially since I care for the grandkids over 40 hours a week & that's just on the weekends, doesn't count the time I take them to their karate classes during the week.
I agree with someone else who said that if we help 1 person (to paraphrase), then we have made the world a better place and have contributed.
I am a shy person who doesn't consider myself a people person, but am told constantly by some that I am, that I truly care for people and it shows, but I can't do in except in small gatherings. You inspire others by moving forward and doing your best considering your restrictions - that isn't nothing! I hope 1 day to have real time for knitting, but I doubt I will ever be as good as you are, but I can try and you are an inspiration towards that goal.
So please don't feel you are worthless or not contributing - you are! Although I do know personally how easy it is to feel otherwise.
Cindy/KS
