An Amazing Forf of the Lie

Today was a truly amazing, humbling day. I woke up at the time I normally wake up on weekdays, but entirely rested. I lounged around in bed, and then went to check my email. I was very surprised to find a comment on my blog that I had been "nominated" this week to Five Star Friday. I certainly don't feel that my writing is particularly amazing--especially next to the others, like one of my absolute favorite bloggers, Jim Griffieon of Sweet Juniper--so it was especially humbling and exciting to find myself listed there.

I can't help being very thankful to RealMental for providing me another forum to reach out to others about my mental illness. That blog has the very special quality of allowing people with similar--but still very different--lives and problems the opportunity to reach out to each other. As many shitty, lame, juvenile things there are in cyberspace, it's ability to connect people who need each other always leaves me speechless.
