ACTUALLY LEFT THE HOUSE...

... and it wasn't to get junk food. Yay!! I walked to a very cool coffeehouse and created my own drink. A spicy chai tea latte. No sugar as it is not boxed like Oregon Chai and other premade chai teas that are beyond my tolerance for sweet drinks. Yummy and I get to decide whether to put 1/8 or 1/4 teaspoon of raw sugar into the cup.

Haven't written in months. Haven't been checking my email. Haven't been on facebook more than a couple of times. Quit twittering altogether. Have not been following my favorite bloggers. Manic depression took over my daily life once again and I am just now coming out of the cloud of depression and experiencing some enthusiasm for people, for weather and walking, for writing and drinking a tea latte.

Can actually say that I am happy to be alive today. Excited & inspired - oh yeah!
