I thought I was a lifer. After 30 months of Prozac I expected to be a lifer. Alicia expected me to be a lifer. My physician expected me to be a lifer. I had no problem with being a lifer. Nevertheless (as of this writing, May 25th) it has now been a month since I have taken any Prozac. I have no significant symptoms of depression and I have never felt happier. Weird! This should not be taken to mean that I feel no emotional pain. I feel it intensely. There is no contradiction.

I’m not having a good day… There was snow on the car this morning (Oct 27), the first of the season. It’s not unusual; pretty close to the average date of first snow in fact. No, I’m not intending a post about climatology.

When I went to get my afternoon latte today, one of the cafeteria employees was sitting next to the Starbucks. He’s about twenty years old, and we always enjoy conversing. We gave each other a big grin as I rolled up. He said "It looks like you’re having more and more fun with that". I said "Yes, it IS fun". We chatted about fun things to do in a wheelchair, as I waited for my coffee. I probably would not have given this any more thought had it not been for a chance encounter as I left work this evening.

The long cold snowy Winter ends. The long hot dry Summer begins. I am always atuned to the seasons. The changes are conducive to a little reflection on one’s own change as Winter launches into Summer.
