Love around the clock

I really love my dogs and they love me!  They make sure I never feel lonely or unloved!  They seem to be able to read what is going on in my head, and move in closer when I'm feeling sad, alone or just plain overwhelmed by life.  The week, well to be honest, the year has been challenging for a great many reasons. Mainly because of the stuff going on in my head!   
Sometimes I wonder how I survived in the past, never seeing or even looking for the madness that's in my head.  Working in mental health,  I'm now very aware of how we label others and ourselves. I've just looked up the definition of "mad">  The Cambridge English dictionary defines mad as "mental illness, or being unable to behave in a reasonable way".  
That's funny because right now despite feeling mad I'm probably mentally healthier inside than I've ever been, because I'm allowing myself to be me, and not trying to constantly behave in a way which society deems reasonable.
