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.

How to we conquer fear? Of anything?
A lot of people don’t like visiting hospitals, nursing homes, funeral homes, or other people’s pain. Why is that? I think the answer is fairly obvious, and important when discussing depression. We don’t want to be faced with what we worry will be our future. We feel vulnerable and at risk. We’d rather avoid it. The same… Read more

When the fear of anxiety is worse than the anxiety
This is a true story. “Jennifer” was returning from her weekly therapy session for her youngest child, Matthew (not his real name). Matthew was born with Down Syndrome. She educates all who need it, “It’s Down Syndrome, not Down’s Syndrome. He is not a “Down’s kid” either.” She gets furious with anyone who uses the word … Read more

How to “lose” yourself and why it’s important.
“You can’t live tomorrow today. You can’t live yesterday today. You can only live today’s day. This is just my way of saying we need to learn to live in the present moment. It’s really the only one we’ve got. We need to learn to lose ourselves in some way. It’s the best way to find… Read more
