When we considered moving to LA to follow our daughter and grandkids i made a matrix and weighed each option from 1 to 10 between moving and staying put. We decided not to move. Sometimes i regret we just didn’t follow our heart. Most times i am happy where we are but miss my kids terribly. There are no right decisions, i guess.
I would say my diary was my anti-depressant ........and for all the pages, all the volumes I have, I must have been really down there.

Of course, not really although some entries were darker than others. One thing I have found with them is that I can use them, at times, to sort of enter into a fantasy world, my Sorceress in her high tower with her familiars around, matching with the spirits of the heavens and the powers of the canopy......and writing wild like that for a few pages.

It can be an interesting substitute...from the drinking I no longer do or chasing "my evil dark lord" on the Net......the Net has become very rude and lonely and it is often like talking to a wall.

Not so much writing for the past few days. I get busy on the weekends and while I may think I should go up to the Loft (my favorite writing place) to make my notes, other things get in the way of the time. My best time for writing is in the first hour (well, 90 minutes) of my day...but the last two mornings have been rather busy to even do that.
