Because I have already forgotten a lot of what I said, and I don't feel like typing it all out again, I'll give you the ClifNotes version: I haven't used this blog in almost a year, I promise to start using it again every time I blog, yadayadayada....Anyway, I've been super depressed lately, and have been having a hard time finding any kind of motivation to do anything, or even being excited about anything. I recently read an article about a man named Jamie Livingston, who managed to take a Polaroid every single day for almost 20 years, until the day he died. This was before the advances of Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Hell, even before plain old digital! And he was kinda busy, going through numerous hospital stints and treatments for a brain tumor as well.

Hey, it's me again. This post just kinda spoke to me...what can I say? ;) Let's just say I get how you feel. Of course, I know that means two different things for me and you. Being you have your god and I have my kids. It's not my place to say which one is more meaningful. However, not understanding why you don't have either one can be very depressing. I've gotten long past feeling loss over being godless but I can relate to how empty I felt before I had kids. Anyway, I guess I'm trying to say that happiness will come your way. Just keep looking and never give up because, take it from me, it is there.
