Today is my birthday. I am going to make a special effort to be easy on myself today.
I feel fine, despite the impression my previous post may have given.
I think sometimes that my real problem is self-pity, not depression. I am self-centered and selfish by nature and self-pity is a tactic I use to wallow in myself. It's a problem, I know, but I am working on it.
More later...
My father had a gift for telling stories. I would listen for hours, mesmerized as he spun tales. My own stories seem to spring from a compulsion, or maybe just from my genes. I write for myself but, like my father, I would never turn away an audience. These stories are true, reflections of events in my life.
