I'm so glad you're continuing to get better!

I have had some of the same questions about belonging and purpose. For me, I'm about to decide that "I" can't decide that. It's very frustrating but for me it seems like it just has to come out of my everyday existence in the world. Maybe that's it -- belonging and purpose are a JOINT result of me and the world.

I can understand why you may not be ready to put yourself back home yet, despite the good things. Remaining family issues and memories? And the jobs where your boyfriend is -- well, you can't know for sure until you apply -- and apply and apply and get used to getting rejected until -- one day, maybe you won't be!!!

But even the indecision about going back to a place that you love or to the place where there is a person whom you love -- Yeah, I can understand that, too.

You're doing so well, though! This (indecision) too will pass. Well, we don't know for sure but . . . One day at a time!!

How are you these days, Ralph?

(I know I'm not often posting comments at your blog, but it doesn't mean I don't care...)

If I could be honest I'm not doing well. My depression has gotten real bad lately. I'll write more of an update when I get it back together.

I'm sorry, Ralph...

But I'm looking forward to your text.

Take care!
