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.

When we are in danger, our bodies respond with sweating, rapid heart beats, etc. It’s our bodies way of alerting us to the danger so we can take action if needed. But if we find this happening frequently when there is no real danger, that’s a problem. ……. Read more

Those small victories no one sees but you.
When I was working hard on my own depressive episode, I would often smile secretly to myself because I knew I had had a small victory and no one else knew about it. In a strange way I found that encouraging…… Read more

Why do I call this blog “the gift of depression”?
You might wonder about this title. Remember, not all gifts are welcomed. Haven’t you ever received a gift that you didn’t want? Well, depression is one of those gifts. Seriously, can’t we just send it back? I get it. But depression, while it’s been unwelcomed and while I hope I never experience another episode, it… Read more
