I think taking vacations and turning off the phone and only doing emails or social media for a specific short amount of time helps with work/life balance. If I'm checking it all day I start to feel cuckoo-bird. So I just do it once or twice a day instead of a thousand. And then remembering that it doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter.

I love support groups, people talking about their feelings.

Here's the Middle East. Here's the mosque, here's the church, open the temple, everybody's MAD!

I find it creatively satisfying to write material and say it out loud in a public place, whether or not anyone's listening.

I get sort of short with people and start grumbling and clearing my throat - in honor of my father - when I'm impatient. It's very charming.

Younger and younger, our children are seeing the sippy-cup as half empty.

I've never really thought of myself as depressed so much as I am paralyzed by hope.
