EDITORIAL | Please Sir I Want More

I confess. There hasn't been very many new posts added to Scribbles lately and there's good reasons for that.

The past few months I have been feeling depressed, which is pretty common, kinda like saying in the past few months I breathed air. Winter is always rough when it comes to depression, as I know many of you are aware, since this season affects you the same way.

There's been many times when my f'n chronic pain has pretty much immobilized me. Again, this is certainly nothing new. It just bugs me at times.

After a 4 month wait, I saw a neurologist in January. She had absolutely no new tricks or treatments for me to try, when it comes to pain management, and I'm thrilled that this specialist no doubt billed the government big bucks for having done basically nothing.

When pain, depression or anxiety are present, there's definitely not a lot of Scribbling going on.

There have been other reasons for the lack of new content and they are happier ones. The holidays and past months were great times to get together with many of you and I have been fortunate enough to attend several live music events with my pal Shelley.

When the weather has been nice my old dog Timmi and I have enjoyed long leisurely walks. So far, we've had another relatively tame winter in St. Catharines and most of Niagara, so these walks have been fairly often.

For good or bad, there's always some reason there's never as many posts being published on Scribbles as I'd like there to be.

You never seem to mind if there's a gap between new posts and I really need to adopt a kinder, gentler attitude towards doing Scribbles posts. When it's meant to happen, it will happen, now I just have to convince myself of that.

Enjoy today's new posts,

Ken
