description: I have this mantra about life giving us lessons. I state that I refuse to sit down and take notes. No I go I learn walking. And though I falter and even stumble I fight not to fall. But to be honest I have lost several of those fights; fallen big time. The saving graze has been in my falling looking up from whence I derived the energy to rise up and keep walking. This is how I have come to realize that although I be battered in and by life; and may even look so tattered my spirit is not shattered. I have and still continue to find the strength in what remains. Dear readers here comes another memoir of mine with the usual goal of inspiring and motivating us all. I know there are cases yes very difficult cases where melancholia and all other disorders and mental challenges make and leave it nearly impossible to find any strength. But to the general I suggest that it is possible. I am a citizen of both worlds. The 'normies' and the 'challenged'. I refuse to think either label makes survival failure or even thriving automatic. May this memoir of mine therefore make a good read.
