The Newspaper

Here is where I find myself today...tired because i have been so busy, sad (for no apparent reason) and on the front of the living section in the Daily News Journal, which is the Murfreesboro newspaper.

So, my first inclination was, I am feeling sad (sometimes, I pick up other's sadness) so I need to write. Then, I remembered, the newpaper just out today. I wanted my blog to be an encouraging place for people who have become numb to life, people who are depressed...I thought I should not write anything but happy thoughts for a few days.

That is so not me. I love to write happy thoughts but only if they are real. I am thankful today, just not overly happy today. So, in order to be real with you friends, I have to admit to feeling a little down and there is not any ONE big issue that is bugging me.

Coming out of depression is a slow process. I am feeling MUCH better but I am a very sensitive person so it has it peaks and valleys with me.

I can't believe I almost fell for the "put on a fake front" thing. Just admitting the truth now. I feel better. LOL, really I do!

If you are a mom or anyone who struggles like I do...I hope you will leave a comment...it is an easier hill to climb once you know others are listening. I am glad God gave me a desire to try to find the real....

Swirling

sometimes the sky

reveals what is

going on in

my mind

the swirls

the different

colors

wanting to

mix together

and make

a

beautiful picture

to share

with others

to spread peace

and

Happiness

Walk Towards the Peace :)

run towards the sun
you can feel the light
the way is there
for you if you
just make the
first move and
take the step
the path will be
the one that
feels peaceful
we always
know if we
pay attention

Choosing Joy Today

Sometimes when things seem

to be dreary

we have to make a concious

effort to choose joy

and not let anything

take it away

it is a choice at the

beginning of the day

choose joy today

and

readjust every few

hours if necessary

Plan to be happy today!!

I miss the sunshine

I really think my mood is directly related to weather. Usually, I can find beauty even on a cloudy day...today is dreary and rainy with no sign of light coming through the clouds..
Sometimes we feel that way BUT we can always be sure the sun is up there. It will be back out in a day or two. When I feel down and dreary, I try to remind myself that life can be like the weather....if we hang in there, the sun will shine again. We will see great beauty again.

SPARKLE

Let's be the SPARKLE

in someone else's day!

The Path

If the path is too shaded

check to see what the trees

have to offer

always look

as to never miss

the blessing

Look past the clouds

the sun is stilll shining

even though

it can't be seen

FEEL IT
