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 was absent from blogging yesterday. I was absent this morning. Yesterday, wasn’t feeling so good. This morning, grocery shopping.

One of my favorite ways to decorate for Christmas is using “stuff”, like inexpensive decorations and incorporating them into what I already have. I like “filling” containers, laying Christmas “picks” on shelves, books, etc., creating “vignettes” in old boxes, etc. With that in mind, I’d like to show you one example using some very large Read more
Funny how we sing Christmas songs and never really give thought to the words. Like “Silent Night.” Like “all is calm, all is bright”. Here’s a beautiful version of the song. (For the story behind the writing of this poem-turned-into-song can be found here.) There was nothing calm about the circumstances in which Jesus was Read more
I’m feeling a little sad today. I am a follower of Christ and I believe in praying in faith and confidence that God answers prayer. But let’s be clear. People get sick. People die. Circumstances change. In other words: Life goes on. Life changes. My granddaughter and I are baking cookies with my mom today. I Read more
I woke up this morning and before I ever got out of bed, I took some time to thank God for yesterday: baking cookies with my husband (twenty dozen, all Anzac cookies) the cookies turned out better than ever a normal conversation with my mom a long phone call from my grandson finishing Read more
How are all of you doing? Last night I spend some time in the basement “taking stock”. You know, making sure I have everyone covered, bags ready, and tissue paper and scotch tape on hand. I’m putting away the rest of the Christmas decorations and calling it done. This afternoon my husband and I are 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.
