#MentalHealthMonday check in
1. I‘m tired & disappointed I didn‘t sleep well. But I‘ll be OK. I have to remind myself it‘s not a moral failing to be tired.
2. I used to think feeling sad for ANY reason meant I was mentally unwell. I now know mental health (for me) isn‘t about feeling happy vs. feeling sad. It‘s about emotional regulation. Processing & expressing my feelings in healthy ways rather than ignoring them or trying to erase them. ⬇️
“For fans of Kristin Hannah‘s The Four Winds and Lisa Wingate‘s Shelterwood comes a heartwarming historical novel following a homeless young girl as she struggles to survive during the Great Depression.
Told in three voices, A TINY PIECE OF BLUE is a gripping and heartwarming story about the meaning of family.”

A very enduring story. This one captures a human's ability to learn how to give. How to be kind in the face of hardships. To be compassionate even when they fight it will all they have. To grow in ways they didn't think possible.

During this blog we turn the Authors Spotlight onto Lukas Klessig and his book “Words With My Father: A Bipolar Journey Through Turbulent Times”.
Words With My Father offers a gripping portrait of the evolution of a young man's mental illness and how it manifested into a dramatic and often dangerous existence through the turbulence of the Civil Rights, Peace and Conservation movements.

After seeing a TED Talk, I had the local library order this book for me. That was 5 years ago. I have my own copy now. It's been a huge help in finding my way back on my own. It was never me. It was how I dealt with how I allowed people to treat me. And I can change that. I have. It's an ongoing struggle against my natural inclination to trust, believe, and look for affirmation. I wish my wife had read it before she surrendered her life to Prozac.

Unfortunately, this #ImpulseRead just couldn‘t keep my attention, regardless of the subject. I‘m not opposed to revisiting in the future.
pickI‘m very behind on reviews! Read this in early December. It‘s funny to see where Wait‘s backlist has been coming from. One book of hers had to come to my small town in Vermont from a library in Virginia. This book has come from Kentucky. Emma‘s eldest brother has died and her other brother immediately leaves home. Emma is left behind as part of a devastated family. As usual, Wait does a great job describing this family‘s story.
