In a curious land, a story is told
Mad hats are worn, all day long
A talking cat, fades from head to tail
Gardens grow roses, are teacups there?
If up is down, and wrong is right
Nothing is real, everything is mad
A queen will shout: Off with her head!
Time may stop, yet starts once again
It is in this world, where you are never wrong
One door opens, the size of a mouse
Never stop dreaming, imagination is your key

Trying to get back to full-time work whilst recovering from depression
There is a particular kind of silence that follows depression; it’s the absence left behind when your old life no longer fits and the new one hasn’t quite formed yet. That’s why I often compare depression with the state of metamorphosis.

Trouble at the Tea Leafing Café
The rain had started right around the time that Annie was buttering her second thick slice of homemade toast for breakfast, and hadn’t paused since. Not that anyone could tell. The windows of the café were fogged over, and with every seat filled with happy customers munching on fresh baked pastries or steaming bowls of the delicious soup of the day, it was hardly surprising. Annie looked around the room, finally taking a moment to breathe after the lunch time rush. Her old life already felt like a bad memory, a part of her history, always, but just that. History.

Nice acrostic, Susan. I've gone to the theme of Wonderland today with Tea Party. I do like tea and a party but I couldn't think of anything other than the Mad Hatter!
