Thoughts from the Asylum
August 12th, 2009. Filed under: Wednesday's Wonders.
It’s actually not an asylum. That just was a catchy title. These thoughts were written by mental health clients in my crisis stabilization unit. One of my techs found a small box with cards of thoughts for the day. I don’t know how many years these have been around here. This box was found pushed back into a corner. Some of these writings are very insightful. Here’s a sampling:
Life is like riding a bike – if you don’t keep pedaling, you fall over.
One learns in life to keep silent and draw one’s own confusions.
If you want to get along in life, you first must realize that the world largely consists of other people.
Hugs are better than Drugs. Kisses are cool, too.
My illness is only part of my total being.
Winners make commitments. Losers make promises.
Pretend you are a rubber band and bounce back!
Don’t be surprised at where you find wisdom. It’s everywhere. I’ll share more thoughts with you later.
