No good @Historylover sorry to hear you are not coasting along too well at the moment. Wishing things may be different for you. Life is hard going for people right now and its easy to get caught up in everything that is thrown our way. I don't like the situation of the world nor having to bear mental illness alongside that. But I just wanted to acknowledge your post today for now and say I noticed your comments about not being at your best and not faring well. We are approaching the shortest amount of light in the southern hemisphere and its when things tend to really consume people so I do some candle gazing. The flicker of the flame does something to my consciousness and instills hope in me even when there is little to feel celebratory about. Its just something I do. I hope you are in a better headspace soon.

Good to hear from you @Former-Member. It's a rocky road all the time, but I usually manage to keep plodding. I'm between courses at the moment and trying to get ahead on the next module. I tried it prior to the last module but couldn't get my head around the intricacies, so I dropped out. I'd really like to succeed this time then take on another. I really enjoy studying. It gives me a way to grow and expand my knowledge base, and that's important to me.
I hope you're doing alright. So chilly here in Melbourne. I don't remember last season being so bone-chilling!!
Now edited to avoid the possibility of recognition.
