Dear Medication

Over the past year it has become my saving grace.


Dear Medication,

I have come to rely on you for my sanity as the world around me becomes increasingly insane.While you have changed a great deal since we were first introduced I'm hoping that one day you will find the correct combination. It has been rather unsettling to adjust to you just to have you changed because the combination was not correct for me.

Those close to me know that my nerves are shot, those closest know why. There are times when I wonder if I took you in the mornings, and at night I often forget because of the hangover effect. I prefer the hangover to sleepless nights and being jittery 24/7. 

Until I can develop adequate coping mechanisms I will continue to rely on you. I will continue to complain in therapy.


How do you cope with the stress of daily life?

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
