*You should have found a better shrink.*
Think of a foster child going from home to home. Get old-doesn’t help.

*If humans are paid for nothing and have to produce nothing, they will lose all meaning and drift rapidly into a state of mass insanity.* Retirement is that slippery slope. I’d blame-partially-Social Security.

*Personally, I wish I were Amish. But that wouldn’t work for everyone* That’s because resentment builds as others move ahead.

*A swift kick in the seat of the pants straightens out a person’s thinking quicker than any pill or analysis.* Not for women. I’d give them shelter and treatment. The men? You got that right.

Thanks, Ann.

You know what got me through everything? And it was very tough! I came close to suicide several times as a teenager. (I'm now a normal human being.) (My grandson said, "Well, normal enough.") (I thought that was impertinent. I ought to wear him out!) (I think I will!) It was this:

Even as a small child, I knew that God was with me guiding me and protecting me. Even in the depths of despair, I knew this.

At one point, I asked Jesus Christ (Who is the Persona of God to Whom I can most easily relate) to lead me, promising that I would follow Him anywhere, even through the gates of hell, and that my only condition was that He protect me from any and all evil influences. He has led me to strange places and situations but always growing nearer and nearer to Him.
