Time for introspection...

A few weeks ago, a good friend (whom I unfortunately don't get to see often enough), asked me a pointed question - "Are you depressed?". My first reaction was to say of course not! I can't remember the last time I had a hard time getting out of bed (my reference point for depression?)... And then I realized that it's pretty much impossible for me to stay in bed with a four year old who needs me to get up at the before 7 every day :)

And so I started thinking about it some more, and couldn't really come up with a conclusive answer. I've been so focused on my kid, and all the logistics of juggling work and family etc, I've clearly spent very little time examining my own emotions. So little time in fact, that I can't even tell where my emotions are at. Of course I am very skilled at burying any and all inconvenient emotions...

So I've decided to dig a little deeper and figure out what is going on with me. And to keep myself honest, I'm putting it all up on the blog. Hopefully I can keep it up and update as I figure things out. Of course time is (and will be for the foreseeable future) in short supply in these parts, so the updates may have to be short...
