About Me
- Name: zennist
- Location: Texas, United States
I've been married to the same man for over 30 years. I'm one of the most introverted people I know. I share my home with two Siberian Huskies. I have a grown stepson who lives in another city. At work, I'm known as the Kitty Whisperer (aka Crazy Cat Lady). As a child, I was subjected to severe physical, emotional, sexual and verbal abuse. My father committed suicide almost a decade ago. Within the last 2 years, I've had a mastectomy, chemo, radiation and reconstruction surgery. I suffer from chronic severe depression and post traumatic stress disorder. I work in an absolutely crazy environment. Even my therapist and psychiatrist have said so. I'm living proof that things can always get worse. But I'm pretty entertaining about all of it.

Deep Survival, Laurence Gonzalez
Who lives, who dies, and why.
Selected quotes
"'A sense of humor is not a luxury!' Leach writes, 'It is a vital organ for survival"
"Heaven and Earth are not humane.
They view the myriad creatures as straw dogs." ~ Tao Te Ching
"And as Christopher Burney, who was a prisoner of war at Buchenwald said, 'Death is a word which presents no real target to the mind's eye.' The best way to become a believer, short of dying, is to sit very quietly and contemplate those things."
"In daily life, people operate on the necessary illution that they know where they are. Most of the time, they don't. The only time most people are not lost to some degree is when they are at home."
"'Luck favors the prepared mind,' Louis Pasteur
