12/9/25 It's good to be back

 This is the life of a Bipolar Patient.  Sometimes up and sometimes down.  There were times when I thought I would never get out of the rut.  It was gripping me so tightly, like an anaconda coiling around a caiman.  Alas, I came out of it a winner.  Finally, there is a remedy.  Not entirely elegant, but it helped me bring down the gauntlet on this twenty-six-year-old menace.

So after climbing out of what seemed to be a bottomless pit, I am ready for the next challenges in my life.  I will make my umpteenth attempt to quit smoking and start a running regimen again.

This is the real battle.  To win over the Private Victory.  To stake my claim over health and happiness.  That is where I am going.  Without the daily battles, life is not worth living.  Hence, I am set to focus on the daily pursuit of excellence.

To life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
