I'm aware that this blog has been much more personal of late. It's not deliberate, I'm just not quite as interested in politics and matters of great opinion. You may have noticed I'm no longer 'opinionated' on my profile.
The nature of the blog has changed, because it's that or stop blogging. It occurred to me that most blogs must go through this sort of change over varying periods of time. I'm reminded of DJP's blog when the American election was looming. Some people stop blogging, but I'm not inclined to do that because I appreciate having a place to write down my musings, even if no one reads them.
My readership has fallen off, but I never really blogged to be a big hit, it's just something I enjoy and proves useful to me. My mental health is at the current time, quite fragile, and I'd value your continued prayers about that. I think there is light at the end of this particular tunnel, and it's good to be able to say that.
So you're welcome to journey on with me, and see where we go from here.
Today has been quite a relaxed sort of day, with bean casserole bubbling on the stove and a new tracksuit for me. I'm trying to start exercising, as one of the side effects of my medication is weight gain, and I'm not at all used to being this size. I'm a UK14, though I don't know what that is over the pond, it's certainly bigger than I've ever been and nothing fits. Except the new tracksuit!
School is starting up again after our week long break, and I'm beginning to feel more confident. Our family is a little less supportive than they have been, and I'm feeling the pressure of disapproval, so it's good to have things under control.
Anyway, that's it for today, I may post more tomorrow, as it's helpful for me to chart how things are - I hope I don't bore you all to tears with daily dullness.

It's a privilege to journey with you and not at all dull. My mother recently went through a similar journey. Thank the Lord, after many deep valleys and dark shadows, she is now well mentally and spiritually, and you will be too. God is holding you closely, even (especially) when you don't feel that He's there.
As a fellow blogger, I wholeheartedly concur with not blogging to attract a huge following. That's probably not healthy and it's definitely not a reason to blog.
As a fellow follower of Christ, I empathize with you through times of sorrow, sadness, or other difficult spots. Been there, done that, still there, still doing that. God help me. I need it.
As a pastor, it's so helpful to see the look up to God, as well as the look out to others in letting them see and hear of struggles. We will not enter the kingdom without them.
Take care as God watches over you.
You go 'write' ahead, Kay.
Praying for you. I hope one day our families bump into each other.
I am still here...I enjoy reading your daily dullnuss, it makes a change reading someone elses' as I blog my own... :)
keep on blogging ,I enjoy reading
'...my grace is sufficient for thee...' 2 Cor 12;9
I'm so glad you're allowing us to continue on your journey with you. I look forward to every time your blog title is in "bold" on my e-reader. A friend of mine recently shared the following passage with me as my wife and I are going through some hard things right now regarding a little girl we're hoping to adopt. It was an encouragement to me and I hope it can be for you also.
Psalm 34:4-7
4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant,
and their faces shall never be ashamed.
6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the LORD encamps
around those who fear him, and delivers them.
