Well yestderday I met up with a girlfriend of mine....whom I haven't seem in a long time. We met to have coffee and catch up. During our small talk she asked how I was doing. Of course emotions started to show on my face (as hard as it was to hide), she came out and told me her son is Bipolar and didn't know what to do. Wow, she had been hiding this for so long and needed to talk. I in turn shared (no details), that I too have been diagnosed with BP. She was sooooo grateful and appreciative that I was someone who understood what her son was going through. I had the opportunity to listen to her and how she felt.

It's funny how some things turn out.....a simple cup of coffee. I'm grateful for yesterday. I have two great friends who know, that's enough to keep me from feeling "boxed in and alone". With exception from this wonderful community here. Feeling pretty good today! There's hope.
