Even without depression, sometimes we just get into a funk. Our motivation drops and all we feel capable of doing is staring into the distance and waiting to go back to bed again. It might seem as if there's no coming back from that but there is.

If you didn't already know, the patriarchy still exists I'm sorry to say. Women are still having a hard time of things compared to men. But there seems to be an issue in creating equality.
Men don't seem to like it!

Gaslighting is a phrase we use to mean being manipulated and to have your reality questioned.
Cults have been doing it for decades, maybe even for thousands of years.

One thing we can all guarantee is that we'll all receive some sort of criticism at some point.
The trick is to not let it get under our skin. Easier said than done though, but don't let that stop you.

Back in 1995 when britpop ruled the charts and the UN designated it The United Nations Year for Tolerance, British Telecom started a friends and family service to make it cheaper to call a handful of your favourite people with the slogan It's Good To Talk.
Everyone agreed.
Hopefully we do still think that, don't we?

I might not the young man I once was, but there is a certain childishness to me that I'm hoping can keep me young.
Looking at the studies into attitude and ageing the odds are in my favour!
