Thanks for sharing -- enough to bring me out of lurkdom, for a moment at least... I, too, was deeply depressed for most of last year -- issues at work, serious health problems, 'fun' family times, and delayed grief. Ironically, 9/11 jolted me out of the deepest part of my depression (perhaps I finally realized my issues were not as big as they could be), and after a November vacation to NYC (planned pre-9/11 and my first visit back to my adopted 'home' in over 3 years), I started climbing the rest of the way out. Now I'm feeling at least 80% better health-wise, even better mentally, and have a new, challenging job with a few bright spots on the horizon. All the way through, BP-lurking gave me at least one reason to check the email every day and smile. So thank YOU, ][<en, and everyone else... bam. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx -- To terminate puerile preservation prattling among pals and the uncoffee-ed, or to change your settings, go to: <http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/bullamanka-pinheads.html>
