Hi and good morning, Members and Guests, I seem to be in fairly good spirits after this insight:
I'm scolding myself like my mother scolded me.
Egads! Why? What have I done to deserve such an internal tongue-thrashing...?

Head up, look at the positive things. You are someone. We are glad that you are around. Please, look at this kind of messages. There are people who really like you for who you are.
Emotions make us who we are, and are nothing to be ashamed of. We all love you very much and are gladdened by your present. I love the comments you leave at my blog. They make my day better.
