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.
I made these last year for a friend. I also made matching Christmas napkins from the same napkins. I’ve already posted these pictures but I’m posting again (and very early in the day) just in case you need a last minute gift. You don’t even have to be “crafty” to pull this off. Dollar Tree… Read more
(This was written a couple of years ago.) So what’s this Christmas season looking like for you this year? For me, I’m pretty much working non-stop but feel like I have a handle on everything. Hubby and I have been having a ball making cut-out cookies. There’s nothing more appealing than a man who actually likes making… Read more

(I’m republishing this from a number of years ago. It’s for all of you who are feeling overwhelmed and wondering if you will get it all done. I was there that year as well plus I had the flu! Guess what? Everything got done. And if I didn’t do as much as usual, it didn’t… Read more
I had to do some creative things this week. Did I ever tell you how much I love really big jars? I do. Did I ever tell you how much I love antique tin/aluminum plates? I do. Did I ever tell you I collect antique door knobs? I do. So-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 I put them all together.… Read more
I decorated my porch about two weeks ago but am finally getting around to posting the pictures. I purchased these blankets at an Aldi’s near us for five dollars a piece. I had the idea for this “scene” but when I saw these really cheap blankets, it all fell into place. The “trees” are leftover… Read more

Hi. I'm so glad you're here.
My blog focuses on faith and mental health issues such as mood disorders like depression, anxiety, and dysthymia (chronic low moods that don't qualify as depression.) I post DIY and decorating projects when I can.
My book, "Depression Has A Big Voice. Make Yours Bigger! (Expanded Edition), is on sale at all online retailers. I have a Psychology degree and post-graduate courses in Clinical Pastoral Education. I am a former hospital chaplain, Bible teacher, and retreat/conference inspirational speaker.
Thank you for visiting and may you feel God's presence today.
