It’s here

No not the degrees you get in school  Degrees of NLD

My latest post for Psychology Today

Hope you enjoy this. I wanted to try something different.  Something that shows how great my life has been.

I know it seems contradictory to the posts I have written before about NLD on PT But as I said “NLD plays by no rules.”

If I was never called disabled or treated as if I were disabled does that mean I am?

I thank the readers who have stuck with me as I lost many when I became immersed in this world.  No it doesn’t feel great but…..I know I’m a decent or better writer.  Writing has been a major focus of my life forever.  It’s funny but a lot of my facebook friends don’t realize this. I find that cute for some reason.

I never thought “Princess Perfect” was a term of endearment!!!!!!  I will have a new post here sometime this week.  Kind of having a panic attack from writing this one!

I’ve been blogging since we blogged uphill both ways.*  Really.  I barely knew what a blog was.  For the first four months I did it strictly for myself.  Then I found a blogging association most of us love to leave out of our blogging resumes.  The next  morning I found myself in an alternate universe I sometimes think is my real life.  People bookmarked me.  OK I got that.  But the link exchange–uh, what’s a link?

I learned this new world, though the learning curve was long and high,  and began to meet people through emails.  Gmail didn’t have IM then and I swear AOL chat would crash my computer.

Anyways as the Wombat says, I discovered amazing uh esoteric people.  Many who are much younger than I am.  Like in: I first knew them when they were in their late teens.  Having young exceptionally bright friends forces me to think and challenge my views on some subjects.  They remind me of the best of me–those years when everything was new, almost always fun except if it was horrific.  And while the world was in horrible shape I knew I was destined for a wonderful future.  And it happened!

The Wombat is an amazing person and friend.  He has opinions (learned and scholarly) on almost everything,  appreciates James Spader like nobody but me, while being straight.  Has one of those great storybook Boston families that actually has camping reunions.  And so much more.  He’s an incredible helpful, thoughtful friend.

His current post, mostly on Egypt has an unusual, different and really almost commonsense take.  He talks about things other people don’t.

Uh government workers have joined the protesters.  I so hope this is a revolution for good and the betterment of the Egyptian people.
