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.

    Growing Old/poetry

      The days grow shorter, the nights grow longer; The headstones thicken along the way; And life grows sadder, but love grows stronger For those who walk with us day by day. The tear comes quicker, the laugh comes slower; The course is lesser to do and dare; And the tide of joy in the… Read more

  • why and how this blog is different

    I read a number of blogs about depression before I launched my own.  I want to be kind with what I say next but I’ve done an exorbitant amount of research and I know what I’m going to say is consistent with that research. Many of these blogs posts sound the same all the time.… Read more

    A great tip about avocados-the super food

    Hi everyone. Here in Michigan, avocados are on sale for $1.00 each. I LOVE avocados and always buy a bunch of them when they’re on sale. They are so-o-o-o-o healthy. Don’t worry about the high fat content-it’s the good stuff. It’s the fat that can actually lower your cholesterol. Anyway, what I don’t like though is trying… Read more
