 When sadness, grief, anger, and lifelong major depression intersect, some days are unpleasant cactus gardens of spiky despair.

(I'm going to apply some workbench time, which almost always improves almost anything. But being motivated to go from this chair to that one is a lot of work right now.)

If you could remind me of some good thing in the world, or something good or sweet you saw or did, or some memory of us together or hope for being so in the future, it would be a great kindness, if you have the oomph to spare for it.

(Given past experience as a guide, I will get through this, but today everything feels at least temporarily insurmountable and made of despair.)

Tell me something good? Please? If you can?

It's been a long time since I made a post like this. But right now, for various reasons, things are more difficult than usual, and it's just A LOT, as the saying has it. If you have a minute or two, please tell me about something good? It helps to read things like that. Doesn't have to be a big thing; it can just be HELLO THIS BEETLE IS SO BEAUTIFUL or maybe I TOOK A PHOTO OF THESE RAILROAD TRACKS BECAUSE THE COLORS WERE INTERESTING. Or maybe HEY LOOK THESE PEOPLE DID A LOVING THING. It makes my day's freight a little easier to carry.

Thank you in advance, and I hope you have good things and good people around you too.


And I guess I'll start, because that makes sense:

The way light comes through translucent things never ceases to interest and inspire me. From the light through the hibiscus petals in a photograph, to the light through my orange curtains, to the light on, in, and through the beads I'm going to work with in an hour or so, it's just always fascinating. It's such a good thing.
