One or two of you may have noticed the drastic drop off in my posts in the past few weeks. I have not become disinterested in Celtic, nor have I found anywhere else to go. It's just that this time of the year(every year) I become a very introverted person because of the tons of things that seem to happen between the middle od july and the first of september. Long story short, I am clamming up until I come out of the very emotional and draining time of the year.

I've missed your posts. I've missed you. I wish you all you need at this time...and you are in my thoughts. You know, much more people than you may believe care for you!
May you always walk in peace!

I used to work with a girl who went through the same thing every year. She referred to it as "seasonal depression". It happened to her every year at the same time of year. I understand how you feel, Brother Urian. Sometimes I feel like just keeping to myself, too.

Normal is a relative term. For some reason it is not a term my relatives use to describe me.

Thank you for the update. Take care!!!!!

I have missed you about here urian, but I thought you were just busy like the rest of us.
Don't stay too much of a stranger. Withdrawing is good up to a point. Pop in ocassionally and maybe you'll find some conversation will lift your spirits. If not, we'll be here when you're ready to come back.

Hang in there Michael; soon it will be October and the refreshing Autumn breezes will be blowing in a new vitality. Know kinda what your going through. Can only say you're not alone and you have friends who care. If you ever want to unload you can always PM me.
Urian! We will truly miss you, but understand your need. Take care of yourself and be back with us as soon as you feel up to it. I always really enjoy talking with you and your posts!
I had wondered where you've been, too. Did you really think we wouldn't notice? We're always here, just quietly waiting until you're ready. Take care of yourself, and remember that you have people who're looking forward to hearing from you again.

Umm..wow. never expected this..honestly..not big on thinking highly of myself to begin with so this blows my mind. I was actually brought to tears...imagine that..big guy like me... I think I do need to elaborate a little on why these months are hard on me. Almost every year(since I can remember) the middle of july through august and early september had been the reaper's days for my family and friends along with various other hardships. I have lost many people in my life that have meant a great deal to me..uncles..friends...the closest things I ever had to grandparents..my youngest brother. My family as also face many hardships in these months. My father being an electrician would often get layed off and we'd move from place to place and town to town during the summer. From the time I was 11 until I was a junior in high school we moved every summer. sometimes without know if , or where, my dad would find work. and to top it all off...this is the 10th anniversary of my brothers death(august 29th)..so this year is particularly hard. Anyway..I'll skulk back off again
I know exactly how you feel my friend, believe me. But even if it is particularly hard this summer for you, don't forget you're in our thoughts and if you need help, just ask. Take your time, we'll be waiting for you.
