Random Thoughts
So I want to stress the importance of the wish . The real magical element is the wish , and if we don't know the wish then we stumble about and we accept entrapment because we don't really know what we are going towards. Then we have no strength, we have no inspirational visions.

Took this off of Pelican Dreaming this morning. Seemed to resonate with me for a lot of reasons.
Depression is a devistating illness that I have experienced first hand over the years. The cost to the individual and to society is staggering. Fortunately, society has learned to accept that depression is a medical condition. I say this because 4 of my clients are also battling depression to one degree or another, either as the primary diagnosis or as a secondary. They are each fortunate because their parents are quite attuned to the devastation that this illness can cause. They are also getting the services that they need, thanks to their great parents (with a little help from yours truly).
With this little blurb, I am going to take a break from the Lawyer Novelist for a bit. I'm not ending it, I just want to be able to make this a positive site and I'm just not able to do that right now.
