Happy belated anniversary TOD.
Things have been quite normal and boring around here. Just like I like it. Have a new neighbor. Beautiful, elegant lady but all alone. Ok it is really a turkey. She shouldn't be here it's to suburban but there has been so much development and road construction there is no place for the wildlife. So cool though having her walking around my yard eating while I am gardening.
TOD- I actually love the sound of cicadas. They don't start here until August.
Charley- I swear your husband and I could be twins. I had that kind of depression for years. It's part of what lead to my alcoholism. He really should read the book Learned Optimism by Martin E P Seligman, PhD. His cognitive behavior techniques really helped me to change that way of thinking. Tell him from one former alcoholic to another it changed my life
