'Earth to Naomi'Blogging typically serves as therapy for me. It serves a creative and emotional outlet. However, recently, I haven't been publishing with any regularity. Why? There are two reasons, which are related.
1. I've had a rocky experience on the job that I accepted in the fall. I love my work. However, there were people issues over which I had no control - crazy stuff. But I'm surviving it. In fact, just a week ago, I was suddenly reassigned - temporarily - to the executive office at headquarters. One of the senior officers called my boss, requesting me.
2. I've been dealing with major depression for months. It just has a way of popping up. Actually, I was diagnosed with major depression many years ago, but I have always worked very hard to keep going in spite of it.
Not a day goes by when I don't think about you, my readers. You have given me so much in friendship.
I'm trying to get back into the habit of blogging regularly. But please bear with me as I work to get myself back. For the moment, I'm a bit of a recluse. I have a lot to say, much of it humorous. But somehow I can't get it out. But that will change. Maybe the change will happen this week on my birthday. :)

Happy B- lated birthday!
B, thank you so much! With so much inspiration coming from you and others, I can't help but remain positive. :)
Have a wonderful week, and thanks again for your kindness.
Happy Birthday, sorry, I know how hard things can be when depression hits.
But I have faith in you and I know you're going to be o.k. I don't suffer from deprssion as much as I used to. I finally brain washed myself so much that now I just take a relaxing bath and pamper myself in some way, like painting my toenails. It's a temporary thing the trick is to not let it get you down to far. Fight it like it was someone that you always wanted to beat up. lol Take care.
