Opening the blinds is an empowering metaphor as well as a loving and helpful act. I don't know if you ever saw the great Jonathan Miller talking about depression on Dick Cavett, but I saw this once 40 years ago and have thought of it often over the years when wrestling with demons (thanks, Internet, for making it available again): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fUZ9Dd7wf8Peter Patauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791464275398693662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276394445294788649.post-81001468471634687252016-06-06T17:05:29.174-04:002016-06-06T17:05:29.174-04:00I tried to comment from my phone last night and co...I tried to comment from my phone last night and couldn't remember my Google ID because it is automatic on computer :)<br />I related to all of this, though I'm a very low-functioning depressive. Chronic, persistent depression it's called I think. I especially relate to the feelings of seeing one's daughter struggle, as you know. <br />I love you. I love love LOVE Serena's song and her and her talent and she is fortunate to have a woman like you to lead by example on how to push through this shit. <br />xoxoSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15112030398651794903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276394445294788649.post-14140997877930858202016-06-06T15:01:05.344-04:002016-06-06T15:01:05.344-04:00Your words, followed by Serena's song, and you...Your words, followed by Serena's song, and your bird photos were a beautiful treat for a Monday afternoon.

Are you able to love and appreciate yourself (not the things you have)? If you haven't read Brene Brown's "Daring Greatly," I highly recommend it. <br /><br />I can absolutely empathize with everything except the "worst" part. I don't have children, but I've been through some horrible things. I still struggle to heal the damage sometimes, but I'm much better than I used to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276394445294788649.post-75245379849517988682016-06-05T20:51:18.196-04:002016-06-05T20:51:18.196-04:00Dear Leslie, I am at a loss for words right now bu...Dear Leslie, I am at a loss for words right now but I did want you to know that I have read your blog.
