I have felt this way myself more than once, and I'm not even a 'starving poet!' (lol)... Then again: Why brush my teeth? -- They're only going to get dirty again... Ah, how our minds can trap so. So powerful, our brains... :) gw

I certainly hope this is not a picture of what you are experiencing right now, Chetta. Life is precious. Covet it; hold on to it.

Thank you for your concern. This was me in 2008, but thankfully I survived that time of depression.
