My Molly-dog yesterday on her walk in the forest.
I felt in a blue funk all day, struggling with the pictures in my head again, and after a barbecue at our friends' house in Nahant, which I probably ruined with my topics of conversation, and a short visit to see little Angelina, such a dear little alert and responsive baby who briefly lifted my spirits, I went to bed feeling sick in mind and body and woke up 13 hours later, this morning. Hence no posting last night.
My son Nick, enquiring about my sadness, asked me to please not become "one of those old depressed people".
So I won't. It is of the utmost importance to provide a good example to my children, of how to deal with both despair and delight, and how to live in the world with integrity.
