I am manic depressive. This condition enables me to write moving poetry and I would like to share that creative poetry with you.
I have a smart and supportive family.
I have been born at a time when there are medications to treat my mania.
I am currently living in a wonderful assisted living residential care facility, where others with a mental illness like me get great meals and the best of care.

My name is Joseph Stanley Mott-Smith and I'm the luckiest guy in the world because:

After 5 years of living with all the restrictions and hours of dialysis associated with late stage renal failure, in November 2023 I received a new kidney, which has been functioning beautifully since then! (see update link to the left)
