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 depression can no longer be your excuse
What happens when you can no longer use your depression as your excuse? We can get so comfortable with our depression that it becomes our mantra. It’s convenient. It’s a way to keep people away. It’s a way to avoid putting ourselves “out there”. “I can’t do that. I’m feeling too “down.” “I’m just not Read more

A little about me
I thought this might be the time to let you know a little about me. I started blogging about five years ago. At that time, I also had two blogs and gave that up after about a year because it was a lot of work. And now I’m right back at it. One blog is Read more

*More about my paper collecting and why “doodling” is therapeutic.*
I mentioned a while ago how I buy paper at garage sales, thrift shops, etc. I go through a LOT of paper. I like to sketch and doodle. Needless to say, I go through a lot of paper that way. I find doodling very therapeutic and usually just throw most of it away. Couldn’t do Read more
