I suppose it’s a good thing that I’m OCD? Because Beyond Blue has just crossed the 1,000 mark! I remember when Amy Cunningham who wrote “Chattering Mind” crossed 1,000. I thought to myself, “Wow. She must have been writing for years.” And then, what do you know, I got a little coffee in my system and I was off and running, with lots of help from you guys, of course. Because many of the posts are filled with your insights, stories, and jokes (where do you think I get all the cartoons from?).
So to honor our 1,000 mark, I’m going to publish a few earlier posts that I like and aren’t featured on my main page.
My friend, Priscilla Warner, recently shared with me this quote from Martin Buber: “When two people relate to each other authentically and humanly, God is the electricity that surges between them.” I think that is certainly true of Beyond Blue.
Thanks for making it happen!

Therese, I feel like I have known you for years not months. Everyone who reads this knows how it feels to be classified, chronic depressive, etc. I can’t have a conversation with my adult children about “my feelings.” They can’t listen & be encouraging; they are so criticil of me. I believe I was a very good Mom; thru many years when money was low.
They will not be of great help when I cross that bridge into “needs assist living.”
Now, I have been working “Letting It Go.” I must admit that it works. If grandkids need a sitter, I will receive a call. After 1 or 2 others couldn’t help. I used to have “the right of 1st refusal”. But I let it go……………………still working on that.

I haven’t been in this group very long, but I have been reading the posts for quite some time. Congratulations on your milestone of 1,000. It’s comforting to me to know that I can come here and say what I need to say,knowing that someone else understands. Thanks a lot to all…

Rod Dreher was just bragging about hitting 3,000 blog posts on Bnet today. But then, he always was a bully.
