I've been thinking lately about how I'm not happy with the person I've become. I miss the person I was, the one who met the world with a smile, a beanie copter, and a thoughtful observation. Not sure how to get back to that place. Been thinking of posting about that, to ask for your thoughts on the matter.

In the meantime, htbthomas posted this meme today, which fits right in with that train of thought. My head is still fogged up from sleep issues (more than usual, on both counts - thanks to side effects from the latest attempt, the last four months or so of my life are a drugged blur), but I'll do my best. Because I think we could all use it:

Post a comment, and I will reply with one or two reasons why I think you're great. In return, you have to post this same meme on your blog and comment for other people.

Aw, Paul, {{Big Hug}}.

I'm no doctor (nor do I play one on TV), but I'll bet you that a large chunk (not all, but a lot) of what you're feeling *is* the sleep issues. I've discovered first-hand that not sleeping properly causes some depression, and I can only imagine how that plays out for a more chronic sleep problem.

Take a deep breath. Relax. Believe that you will be fine.

When my Dad was hit by lightning, he was pretty much laid out flat for a long time. For years, he couldn't stay standing up for very long. By God's grace, he got better.

Just hang in there, Paul, and don't give up. You might have to slog through some crap for a while, but things always change eventually. I hope this helps, some. :) {{Hugs}}

Sleep is definitely central to things. Just wish there was something (more) I could do for it.

Thanks for the support, and for believing in me. Your spirit and optimism are some of your best features.
