| Introduction | I am 77 and began writing stories when I was 43. I have an MA in Communication and Community College Teaching from Florida State University. I like to laugh but cry a lot.. One blog has my stories, the other has my life, how I survive in the fog of depression and schizophrenia through writing, using the internet, shopping, watching movies and doing photography. The third blog is about the Internet and finding what you want. I was born in Mattoon, IL. I lived in Litchfield, IL; Lake Worth and Tallahassee, FL plus 30 other places. I am a recovering alcoholic, dual-diagnosed with schizophrenia and depression, with OCD and paranoia and anxiety. The schizophrenia and depression related pieces come from real experience with 23 hospitals, 50 psychiatrists and 40+ years of surviving the disorders. I hope my blogs and curations can assist you in some way, ease your life, make you think, let you dream and maybe make you laugh a bit too. New blogs about other topics could show up at any time. |
