400 - 400 ...

I started this blog at the end of May 2006 as therapy for the clinical depression I was suffering from. This blog, therapy and medications literally saved my life as I had lived on the brink of suicide for many months. Two years ago today (March 3), I woke up in the hospital and was diagnosed with severe major depressive disorder … so happy anniversary to me.

After many months of blogging about depression, I felt that I could start posting about any subject as the pieces of my compromised mind were falling back into place once again. It has been a tough road with some detours along the way but I feel that I am at a point of declaring success.

In 21 months I have posted 400 times and had 41,000 hits. Recently, however, I have not had the pleasure I used to have in making posts. Although I still really enjoy finding subjects that I think you will enjoy in one way or another, I feel that posting has become a chore more than an enjoyable past-time. I feel obligated to post five times a week and if I miss one in a week I feel that I have let the regular visitors down.

What I am trying to say is that this will be my final post. I will leave the blog open but one day it will disappear as well. I will keep visiting some of your blogs and make a comment now and then but I will be largely absent for most of the time.

Perhaps in the future I’ll start another one when I am better with the Photoshop and photography art. Who knows.

Thank you, everyone who has visited me and commented but I have one question. In my Statcounter log, I see that somebody visits me very regularly from Flower Mound, Texas but I don’t know who you are or if you have ever commented. I would really like to know who you are so please leave a comment or send me an e-mail.

If anybody want to contact me, my e-mail address is somewhere on this site, probably on my profile page.

I would like to leave you with what I consider a most beautiful piece of classical music, it is sombre and melancholy but extremely touching … I hope I have been able to touch you as well.

As Spiky Zora would say … ciao babes.

Au revoir jusqu'à la prochaine fois
