Their recent excited 'limbering up', an inspiring whirl of wings and chattering mutual encouragement on our power cables in recent days preceded an unannounced energetic dawn 'lift off'  starting that brave journey to warmer climes . Au revoir!    It... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/56737/86101/changin http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/56737/84383/delusions-ps Wed, 26 Aug 2009 13:48:04 -0400 Chris Will try once more with clickable link.

(She is happy for me to link to it here and I do hope others find it helpful and encouraging.) There is also such a lot of info/links on her site, and she has also set up a forum, both worth regular visits. A blog dealing with denial early in her illness I also found very helpful. Here goes with the link... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/56737/84382/delusions http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/56737/80888/music-mind Sat, 01 Aug 2009 03:31:33 -0400 Chris Good morning everyone   Hope some of you will find this second link from the Scientist as thought provoking as I did! Sorry the sound quality is not great, but the text (though wordy) is fascinating.Worth the effort I think. http://www.the-scientist.com/news/display/55682/ Somehow it got me thinking on inner heard thoughts, sounds,and music and our struggles to make sense from our own individual 'microdot'... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/56737/80888/music-mind http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/56737/80814/link Fri, 31 Jul 2009 16:38:31 -0400 Chris http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/07/090722110905.htm   This was the 'scientific link' I mentioned in my last post.

Please share if you can.   For me I think it is an equanimity, an 'even' feeling (after any interpersonal or life challenge struggle/tension/flounderings perhaps) from which I can pick myself up, breathe slowly in and even... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/56737/80800/well-being http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/56737/77520/intentions Tue, 07 Jul 2009 04:00:32 -0400 Chris Hello everyone,   (My own  personal take on recent upsets :A sorry case of choice of words working as imperfect tools of explanation, if I am not mistaken)   First let me say once more,( and I know this is echoed by others ),I so appreciate this site.
