Humbled (seriously!)

When first I started this space such a short time ago, it was just intended to be an outlet for me to write about my feelings, my experiences with depression.  It figured if I wrote and felt better, yay for me.  If I happened to have a conversation along the way that would be a bonus.  


Certainly putting words to paper pixels has proven to be cathartic.


But then I discovered another reason this works for some people.  Yes, it starts with the therapeutic value of journaling, but it's the fellowship and the mutual support that really brings it home for me.  I have connected with some really genuinely nice and supportive people who know exactly what I am going through cause they've been there too.  What's more, these new connections have been warm, and welcoming to this community of people who write about experience with mental illness.  (I speak more of this in my last post.)


Which is why it's so humbling to have been presented with a "Stylish Blogger Award" by Gary at klahanie.

Sparkly!

It's true - here it is:


Can you believe this?  


I realize that it's a lighthearted "award", but to receive recognition  from an established and well read blogger such as Gary, particularly since I am the Really New Kid On the Block, is a real honor.


Also, a blog is the only place anyone will ever refer to me as stylish.


Thanks.
