Writing this blog gives me joy. 

I fully intend to continue writing, but now that I’m working again (thank you Jesus!), I have less time to write.  Actually, that’s not quite true.  Now that I’m working, I have less time to work on creative projects.  In the month of July I’m CHOOSING to work on getting my first symphony completed. If everything goes as planned, I’ll finish the symphony in July and release it August.  I’ll get back to work on the blog at that time.  

That should give me plenty of time to store up more good ideas for this blog. 

See you soon.

To Medicate Or Not? #ADD 02

“Should I take medication to help mitigate my ADD symptoms?” For people with ADD , this can be a big question.   Let me begin by making it clear that I’m not a doctor or a psychiatrist and I have no credentials that qualify me to advise you medically concerning this question.  You should always listen to your doctor concerning recommendations and make your decisions with a qualified physician.   What I CAN provide here is my experience in answering this question for myself.   ADD is not a life-threatening disorder, and so, unlike heart disease, diabetes, or other ailments that MUST be medicated (if you want to live), the person with ADD typically has a choice as to whether or not to take medication.  There are numerous medications that can be taken, and you’re free to ask a doctor or look at WebMD to see what those options are.   Experiencing Adderall When I was first diagnosed with ADD, I was prescribed 30mg of Adderall, a stimulant that is used to address the effects of ADD.  I stil
