  1. When I’m overwhelmed, I imagine I’m talking to my 5-year-old self. I wouldn't yell at a scared kid, so I won't yell at myself. "It's okay. We will get through this." 🧸 #InnerChild #SelfSoothing #BipolarLife

  2. A whole lot of things are going badly wrong in my life at the moment, so I will write about three good things that happened today in an attempt to cheer myself up:

    - My son sat the ACT test today and felt that he had done well.

    - I was in a library earlier where I had the pleasure of watching the Music Core stages of Kep1er -- Shooting Star, Nicole -- 5!6!7!8!, and ARTMS -- Virtual Angel. All three songs hit the spot with me, and today I was particularly taken with the Kep1ian audience's vocal support, Nicole's disco strings and male dancer, and Choerry's mauve minidress and silver stiletto heeled boots.

    - I was fascinated to learn more about C17 French political thinker and librarian Gabriel Naudé. I am both attracted and repelled by what I have read of his ideas, so I am keen to learn more.
