Here we are again! Another holiday. I am sure a lot of people are celebrating tonight, but I am staying at home alone. This is a time of reflection for me, and I usually make peace with things that happened during the year.

I don’t plan on staying up or doing anything special. I just want to write while I have the chance. While the wind is still beneath my wings. Get while the getting is good, or whatever they say.

I should celebrate that I made it out of the halfway house. I got a decent job, and I am saving for a car. Things are good at this point. No major episodes this year, only a slight hiccup or two.

In case you aren’t familiar with what I mean by episodes, I suffer from Bipolar I and PTSD. I have episodes when I become incapacitated and out of touch with reality. I am writing a book about it at this time, called UNHINGED. It’s a memoir of my experiences living with mental illness over a five-year period. I won’t go into specific detail at this time, but I will be talking more and more about what’s in the book as time goes by. I just don’t want to give too much away at this point in time, so I am being vague.

I’ve been busy writing the days away, in the last few weeks. I am accomplishing a lot, and I am very proud of the progress I am making on this new book. I have two other books I have written that need revamped, and then I would like to try and get them published. I eventually plan to sell them on this website.

I have a lot of plans for this website and for Kline Consulting Solutions. Keep your eyes open for some new and exciting things happening in the new year. I hope to see the support group grow and to start accepting freelance work again. Lots of plans. Very exciting!

As we head out of this year and into the next, could we all remember to be kind? We never know what someone is going through, especially if they don’t tell us. We can all use a little sympathy and some compassion in our lives as we move through each day and into the next. A little kindness and caring can go a long way to someone who is really going through something at the moment. You might just be the things that saves their life. You never know…

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great night and a better tomorrow! Take care!

Sincerely, R. Kline
