Update
Hi everyone and to me in the future......
I am so happy to have chat back-I find the meebo bar a bit incomprehensible-does anyone know what the numbers next to g+1 mean?? I seem to have publically recommended meebo or DS or something too-I always think that the lines of communication here leave something to be desired! With DS and with some of my friends too-I am in regular contact with some folks then they disappear. I worry are they dead-or so deep in depression they cant find their way back up? or left town and got into a zone of happiness where for now they dont need us?
Maine Girl, Joe Go, KansasLady I think her name is (if I look Ill lose this-lol) others have come and gone and I miss them. My weekend went by too fast again.
Had a good meet up with my brother Jay-came for lunch and he told me that he feels about our brother Simon as I do-that he hogs things, disses people, treats everyone with if not quite contempt then disrespect-no one good enough for him-no one of any interest to him but him. I have found this very diminishing to my confidence over the years-that I wasn't good enough-so its been reassuring that my very acceptable brother finds he gets treated the same way.
I sent Simon an email for birthday but no reply-I did hear back from my other bro eventually....That's it-no more keeping in touch-Relief really, to have decided.
I am losing my peer support worker end of August. I have been out of mental health services for a year and our time is up. Lisa has been marvellous help, positive and supportive and really good at seeing beneath the surface of things. I will miss her a lot. Would maybe, like to thank her with a gift but not sure what?
My friend Ann is going into a rest home at 86. Reluctant but knows it is inevitable.
What's it all about eh? Capable, confident, indomitable and then ........
Ivan and Arnie are good. Just getting on with things. Happy families.
Work is OK too, I just keep plodding on. Not the number one performer, and not getting fired any time soon as far as I know.
Reading the Kindle is so much fun. Wives and Daughters at the moment-Mrs Gaskell. and have had a craze on medical history books.
So, no news much-I have really been enjoying (if that's the right word)BobinMaine's journal so feel i should pull my weight.
I feel sane as can be- meds? Or just recovering from a few crappy years-Id like to come off them if I could-but not sure if I want to risk my equilibrium.

Hi Dinah! :) i am so happy, and thankful you are well, and had a nice visit with your brother, and are enjoying peaceful joys. :) You all are in our thoughts, prayers, and in our hearts, each and every day. :) i hope all will continue to go well for you. :) i know you will continued to make great progress with your therapy, and will always have our support. :) i hope your other brother will be ok, and that he will be more kind, and considerate of other\'s, and other\'s feelings. :) life is so fragile, and precious. :) i hope soon, you will hear from your friends. :) i too, miss friends, that i don\'t hear from for a while. i always wonder how they are. i check their page here on DS, to see if they have written. i always keep hope and faith, that they will return. :) i\'m happy you are enjoying the chat, and reading your kindle. :) i\'m very proud of you, for keeping strong, and taking good care. :) i\'m sending lots and lots of love, warm friendship wishes, caring thoughts, many peaceful blessings, and happy friendship hugs, from CT :) Take care, enjoy a nice day :)
Well hello lovely. It\'s always so nice to read a Dinah journal. Very happy to hear you are so happy. It\'s a nice turnaround from one of your last journals when you were deep into the blahs.
I\'m so glad chat is back, although I\'ve only been back to DS for 2 days and haven\'t quite figured out the new Meebo, or what the Google +1 means. Clicked on it and it seemed to be asking me to allow them to share my profile info (from gmail) across all gmail products. I don\'t like this lack of privacy.
Anyway, it\'s nice you are appreciating so much in your life. Especially how much you love Ivan and Arnie. It\'s nice you had a good visit with Jay. I know you feel a lot of hurt because of the way your brother treats you, as I do about my sisters. I don\'t know if it\'s a good thing - but I always feel better when I get to share bad feeling about someone and another person agrees with me. For instance, I told my Aunt about my ex husband. She said she didn\'t know what he brings to his new marriage. As in, what does his new wife gain by having him as a husband. It made me feel so good when she agreed with me about how useless my ex is. hee hee.
There\'s so much good stuff in this journal that I\'d like to respond to, but my butt is hurting and I must logoff. I\'m confident we will meet up on Chat soon. I can\'t wait!!
