Talkin' about ME?! I was going to answer DAPUNISHER's post #22, but saw the rest of it.
Happy? I was probably happy between my 11th birthday and high school. Too much to wrestle with in my first six years of college. Maybe happy for 4 or 5 years in my entire federal career. You can call this what you will, but an organizational psychologist named Douglas LaBier coined the term "Working Wounded" -- likely to be found among retirees who didn't want to finish the full 30-year milestone.
My latest struggles are described in "Home and Garden" relating to volunteer work and homeowner associations. I think respondents to that thread deserve an update, because amazing s*** has happened since announcement of the election results.
But -- yeah -- I'm not ready to swallow a Glock-9. Still thinking about the family I lost since 2021, visiting the cemetery for monthly family meetings and consultation.
Today could be pretty good. Checked my medical records and discovered new information -- describing me as "chronically depressed" (??!!). That was last year recovering from Moms' passing. I feel pretty level.
Anyway, thanks for your concern. I'll go to COSTCO for gas, get my daily walk, make a chicken salad. Everything is going to be fine.
