A new approach. I hope you like it.

Sometimes, new is good. I hope you’ll overlook the fact that I am reposting. I wanted to see what this looked like. Maybe I’ll post something like this every end-of-month, so in case you didn’t read a post, they are all in one place.

So, what do you think?

Besides, trying something new is good, right? And considering it’s the end of the month, it works out well.

Plus, I like being able to see my posts this way as well. It’s been two months of reflection and sorting things out. Mental health, identifying the truly important, and relationships. Some pretty heady subjects. But what else is there to do in these two dark, cold months?

Now, I contend with this Afib diagnosis. I’m having a hard time adjusting to the medications. But I try to see things in perspective. It’s not terminal. It’s treatable. Perspective certainly helps. Besides, I’m an overcomer in Christ.

If faith doesn’t work during times of illness, when will it?

I hope you have a great weekend and blessings to each of you.

  • Being afraid of fear. What?

    What are you afraid of? If you’ve ever experienced depression, you know how it feels to fear it might be returning. I’ve never known anyone who’ve experienced one episode that doesn’t fear experiencing another one. But we don’t have to feel bad about it……… Read more

  • What is your timetable to be depression-free?

    Does everyone take the same time to become completely depression-free? The obvious answer is, “No”. However, does it take longer than it should for some people? The answer is “Yes, it does”. We are all different. As written earlier, there are people who do claim a miraculous recovery from depression. They are rare. But just… Read more

  • A “just for fun” post to brighten your day

    It’s hard to write about depression every day. I feel I have to be careful not to give it a life of its own by writing about it daily. It might make you feel that’s who you are. And it isn’t. Depression is an illness which you can overcome. It’s not incurable. It’s not permanent… Read more

  • A reminder on this Psalm Sunday

    A reminder on this Psalm Sunday

    I am thinking today of Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem on this Palm Sunday. He was applauded, cheered. He was treated as a hero. And yet…. Within a week, all that had changed. Some of those people along that road hated Jesus. They were probably just there to see why everyone was cheering. I bring… Read more
