Oh, I’m grinning like an idiot and laughing like a fool!

As I’ve seen so little sunlight during this past 4-5 years, I had a friend buy sunglasses for me yesterday. So much has changed! Example: There seem to be more white trucks and automobiles these days — and looking at them was blinding me! And fewer red automobiles?

I’m like a myopic boy with his first pair of glasses, marveling at leafs and billboards. Talk about seeing things in a whole new light!

I am absolutely gaga to be talking again! This — PsychCentral — has been my only contact with real people for some time. Now, I’m arguing politics and religion and the price of soda with live people whom I can look in the eye!

Still, I need to be wary of mania. This, though, doesn’t feel like mania. Can I tell you what I feel?

Happy. I feel happy.

For almost 5-years I was afraid. Now it’s time to be happy for almost 5-years. And I’ll not curse the Sun for being too hot nor curse the clouds for bringing rain and snow. I shall never grow so old again.

Smile. Everyone. Smile.
