NAMI

Last night John and the kids and I went to a meeting of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. I heard a man named Ira Minot speak. It was a remarkable story, touching and inspiring. We talked at length about ourselves there, as well. The kids went with us and were good as gold. I am so grateful for them.
John talked about his mental illness, and me about mine. I talked about ACA and how I intend to start a group here. I think many of these people would like to attend. I think I've found a wealth of resources.
Mental illness has taken on a new face in my mind in the last few years. I realize now that many of the people I thought were sane, solid pillars of society just aren't, and vice versa. People I once would have labeled nuts I see are clearly operating with insight and integrity. They're just speaking their truth.
Life it good, as always. I love the way things come to me, seemingly through an interoffice mail system that supports the universe. It's good to feel like you're in the loop. Ha ha.
