Saturday mellow

Truly wondrous bird murmuration. I had this video scheduled a couple of weeks down the line but it's so popular and I'm seeing it everywhere, so I thought I'd get it up now so that perhaps a few of you won't have already seen it.

“Recovery happens for me (and I have heard for others as well) due to a multitude of factors”

Keris Myrick the woman featured in the New York Times article by Benedict Carey in the series Lives Restored, Living with Mental Illness responds to the internet summaries of the article. It seems people understood what they wanted about medication and its role in her recovery. More than anything Keris Myrick is a pragmatist. Do what works. I say Amen to that! What works for me, may not work for you and vice versa. And it’s my mantra that it generally takes a combination of many things that varies from person to person to find health and well-being. Generalizing to everyone based on our own personal experience alone is a recipe for disaster.
