I'm glad that you have an inkling of how many people you're able to touch by reaching out and sharing yourself, or as the love of my life says "all my lumps and warts". It's fully being human, entirely- the good with the not so good - that makes it all worthwhile. Thank you for really being there for so many of us! And for again renewing my hope in humanity.

It allows me to relate to you and your blog community gives me a sense of belonging. I have some great friends but many aren't as neridly inclined as I am. I look forward to every post. I empathize when you express down moments and cheer when you have a triumph. Thank you for always sharing, whatever it may be!

I have a group of websites that I come in early to work every day to read (obviously including this one) ... it sets me up for the day and helps me to calm myself down (yep, GAD experiencer here). You matter to so many people and I know that doesn't necessarily make you feel any better on any given day, but I still think you should know. You and John are Good People.

I'm a teacher, too, which makes for really great teaching days when I have to put on a brave face and not let my kiddos see that I, too, want to break down and cry and hide in a corner because I can't Adult today. No one tells you that you have to be an Adult in times like these when you're a person like us. Like all of us. Thank you for putting it all into words. Thank you for continuing to do what you do FOR us. Thank YOU for being a bright spot in so many worlds, mine included. Thank YOU tremendously for sharing these not-so-funny moments with us.

I also have battled with anxiety and depression, and your posts do help provide a little distraction in the bad days, and a familiar place to land in the good days. A haven of all things geek that I can ooh and aah over for a few minutes- and where my load is lightened, if for a few minutes. And it is much appreciated.

Working in the medical field, you can't let your pain, sadness, anger, etc show. You have to bravely go on so that the patient has a positive experience. When 9/11 happened, I was working in NY. We watched the towers fall from our windows and then had to turn around and continue on with our day, even though our hearts were breaking. Sometimes, you've just seen that a patient has head to toe cancer in their bones, yet you can't let them know from your expressions that their life will never be the same. We're not allowed to discuss their results. We have to pretend that we're happy almost on a daily basis, and it really, really sucks, so, yeah, I understand. wildmavenhttp://wildmaven.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-65442669844829144072016-07-03T06:02:09.429-04:002016-07-03T06:02:09.429-04:00There is some connection between sad people and fu...There is some connection between sad people and funny people. I wonder if there are any people who can truly make us laugh who do not suffer sadness. Maybe that is what makes them dig into humor the way people who are not sad do not need to do. I have a list of things to do when I'm sad, (recipe to increase happiness) and one of them is read cakewrecks until I laugh so much my cheeks hurt. I'm glad you can write something funny even when you are sad that helps me feel better when I am sad, I just wish I could do the same in reverse and it would help when you are sad.qatheworldhttp://qatheworld.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-10982845359544497272016-07-03T00:08:48.893-04:002016-07-03T00:08:48.893-04:00You're unbelievably awesome.

I have to say this really comes at a time of need. I was starting to think that no matter where I go drama finds me, maybe I am the problem. The one key factor is me. but the "Everyone isn't against you, they're just for themselves." is probably more what is going on. I'm trying to be my own cheer leader and I'm hoping that will help get me through this. I hope you keep posting, I love all the crafts you make and the wonderful people you get to meet.
