this is also the fifth day of Kwanzaa Nia - meaning "purpose"
for those of us who are recovering from mental illness, our purpose, in order to stay on the path of recovery, is to be med-compliant, make sure we maintain open communication with our therapists and p-docs, and if it gets to a point where we feel ourselves starting to relapse, we must seek IMMEDIATE emergency help....because the life you save may be YOUR OWN.
Nia - Purpose

Happy B-day MizE.
And I'm loving the Kwanzaa posts... don't stop now, you have days left to fill me in on.
Happy birthday, MizE! I hope you have a great night out. Let us know what the Peking Duck was like. :)
I reckon keep the Kwanzaa posts going too. I've never heard of Kwanzaa before so I'm finding your posts interesting.

Mmmmm...I love Chinese food. My favorite restuarant here is a place called the, "Canton Palace" so we're are the same wave-length there.
I love the concept of Nia. Especailly the way that you put forth the mental illness connection.
J-man: yeah, unfortunately the weather here put a damper on my daughter and i's dinner date for today, but tomorrow, weather permitting we will go.
my favorite Principles are Umoja (unity), Kugichagulia (self-determination), Nia (purpose) and Imani (faith)
as always thank you for the positive feedback!
