I’ve been really depressed the past few weeks. It doesn’t help that I’ve had so many doctor’s appointments. The weeks when I have a lot of them always grate on me, and lately it’s been four or five a week. Last week I had seven. I try to make it easier on myself by getting a treat when I have more than two in day; I get a GF scone and eat it at the beach before dipping my toes in the water and heading back home. That always makes it a little better.
Hi again, Vickee. Upon reflection, I sense that my comment above might appear a bit tone-deaf. I mean, what I wrote in support of your decision not to post writing right now, while reflecting my attitudes, doesn’t show much sensitivity to your disclosure about being depressed. I am saddened that you are depressed and recognize that you’d like very much to feel more buoyant and to write from that more vital place. I hope your spirit brightens. Take good care, Glen
