"Merely Me! Please s'plain yoself! Why you no write in yerz blog for long time?"
I just know this is the question poised on everybody's lips. That and...where is the toilet paper?
The most simple explanation is that I had been abducted by evil circus clowns.
Okay then seriously...I suppose...well...perhaps...maybe...possibly...I was just a little depressed. Now do not alert the media. And do not bring me cherry kool-aid laced with Prozac. And do not send me bootstraps nor lectures about bootstraps and boots unless they are very cute with high heels. And do not send me rainbows or leprecauns. Do not read me the newspaper of all the tragedies in the guise of forcing me to take delight in other's sorrows as some do. Do not philosophize, advise, or counsel. Do not attempt to save me from my own feelings.
Merely...walk with me. Be my friend. Share a laugh. And allow me to be human.
Because...I fear that is what I am...human.

I'm walking. If I fall behind a bit, don't fret. I'm just watching your back. Ifyaknowwhatimean. :)
Nuff said!
I have been guilty of every single charge!
How's this for a laugh...I found a toad in the yard and gave it to my granddaughter (3 1/2) She loves bugs, caterpillars and worms. This was something new! She won't let it go. Has it in a terrarium and named it "Rosey". She plays with it like it was a doll. Boy, is her mom mad at me!
Ah the black dog. You expressed it eloquently, Walk with me, be my friend.
Unfortunately, depression also causes us to isolate cutting off our friends and family while we wallow.
Depression has been my constant companion for over half my life. The only good thing about it is Iam my most creative when I am depressed.
Double edged sword, eh?
Anyway, feel better. Take care of yourself and make sure you get some extra TLC during these times.
merelyme ..
you know ..
i'm walking right there with you.
lol cat indeed.
yeah a nice walk would do me good...up from the desk, out the office door, quick steps to the elevator, a cab to the airport, a one way ticket to Rio......what do ya say....game?
yeah, hold my hand a bit, on this tour... i'm feeling out of it myself, today....
We are absolutely human and being depressed is a part of life sometimes. I too have been there a lot lately...
I'll walk with you, Merelyme. I've been where you are and know it can be worse than anything. Try to find things to do to be good to yourself. Hug a pillow, eat some chocolate (but not too much or you'll feel worse), listen to some good music, take a nice bath with aromatic soap or oils. Just some ideas. And...most of all, keep talking to us, okay? Every day talk to someone.
Welcome to paradise.

We just inhale, then exhale and do it all over again and again.
Guilty as charge...hope this make you laugh as I walk with you.
Mystery Diagnosis....
After several weeks of feeling lousy and in pain, John decided that he should finally see a doctor. He asked his wife, Mary, to join him. So after waiting for an hour, they entered the room of the specialist recommended by their friends. The doctor examined John for more than a half hour, took blood test, x-rays and poked and prodded every available spot on his body.
After waiting an hour, the doctor asked Mary to come in to his office to speak privately. "What is it?" Mary asked. "Well, there is good news and bad news,?" said the doctor. "Your husband has a very rare disease, that if he gets very stressed is most likely to become fatal."
"Well, What's the good news", asked Mary." "Practice has shown that if you, as his wife, make sure that his life is stress free, he can go on living a very healthy, normal life. What this means on a practical level is that you have to pamper him and do what he wants. If he gets upset, agree with him. Cook him his favorite foods regularly. Don't argue with him, even when you know you are right. Let him always think he is right and always be respectful of him. Be available regularly in the romantic department and fulfill all his wishes."
Stunned, Mary leaves and heads to the reception room, where John was impatiently waiting.
"So." John asked, "What did the doctor tell you?"
"You're gonna die!"
Thanks for making me laugh today!
You are not alone!

I hate it when I'm depressed and people tell me to cheer up .
Oh NOOOOOO....
The dreaded humanity.
