I woke up this morning to sunshine. I won't and don't complain about our Central Coast weather no matter what it is. That said, I do have to say I love the sunshine best.

I had a good walk though my left knee gave me some owies until it warmed up. I did put some muscle cream on it when I returned home.

I know walking is good for me but the last few days I have not wanted to walk. I have made myself go even with grumbles. Why this change of mind or heart?

I post on a bipolar newsletter and I have posted about getting off the majority of my medications. My pondering is what is life going to be like without the pills.

My doctor can't or won't tell me. I know it is probably different with each individual. Family and friends close to me tell me that I am much more lively. I'm more with it. I feel this but I wonder if my disorders will come back to haunt me?

Those that have replied to my questions wish me luck, pay attention to my moods, and hopefully I won't have to go to the hospital.

Go to the hospital. I've been there, twice. The second time was to Stanford Medical Center in Palo Alto, California. They were the best and I came home feeling better. They changed my medications and I experienced electro-convulsive therapy.

Each day is an experience. I don't know what I am going to awake to and so I am grateful for the sunshine today. One step in front of the other.

With the sunshine come glorious sunsets like this one from last night.

"I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again." - William Penn, English entrepreneur and philosopher
