I have a new blog.

Hello, everybody.

I know it has been a really long time since I was on here, but I have a good reason. In October 2012, I started a new blog over on WordPress.com. I know it's probably Blogger.com's biggest competitor, but it has definite advantages.

One of the advantages of WordPress is that it allowed me to "Import" both of my Blogger sites without any hassle or HTML knowledge.

Please come visit Theresa's Blog for more about Depression, Anxiety, ADHD and my answers to Daily (or Weekly) Prompts.

Sincerely yours,
Theresa Jewel Pinkston

Back Again

I haven't posted on here in a very, very long time and I apologize. On July 12, 2010, I made a blog called "ADHD, Anxiety and Depression". It was supposed to replace this one, but I only wrote three posts for it. 

After that, I tried to start another blog about Depression and Anxiety on WordPress. However, I didn't write anything for it beyond the initial "Hello" paragraph.

Today, I decided come back to Blogger and renew my efforts here. I studied both pages and decide to add more posts to this one.

A lot has happened in the 1-1/2 years since my last post to "ADHD, Anxiety and Depression". The most significant occurrence is the death of my mother.

That's right, I lost my mother in March 2012 and I still haven't fully recovered. I'm not sure when I will get over this loss, if ever.

However, my mother's death also served as a wake-up call. It taught me to reconnect with my siblings, to take care of myself and it gave me a shove into doing things I've wanted to do for a long time! Her sudden illness and death showed me that we all have a very limited time on Earth and we had better use it wisely.

I promise to write more about this later. But, I ask you to stop a moment and ask yourself one simple question, "What have I done today that counts toward my goals?"

Cleaning Up My Cobweb

Hello to anyone who might "follow" this page. I flipped through a book about building web pages and blogs and it says that a page that hasn't been updated in a long time is called a "Cobweb."

I realize that this blog may qualify as a Cobweb page and intend to change that. However, I will not concentrate on the "Help" area any longer because there are plenty of books, articles and web pages for that already. Instead, expect many more links to click on.

"So, what are you going to write?" you may wonder. You may anticipate the following:

• My journal entries -- either in type or as a picture (of my longhand)
  
• Writing/journaling prompts when I think of them or run across one I hope you like
• Suggested books, blogs, articles, etc. with short reviews when needed

I hope this doesn't turn you off too much. Feel free to comment on this and on everything I add in the future.
