October 1st was my worst nightmare. Â My mood totally bottomed out–deadly depression. Â I was ready to end it all. Â Hubby intervened and had me admitted to a hospital to protect me. Â I spent 6 days there and was released on the 7th. Â I have to say that the staff were all very kind and willing […]

I am sooo tired all the time. Our house is under renovation (except for our guest room and Master bedrooms and bathrooms). The construction dust is bothering my repiratory system & am on the verge of a bronchial infection. We’re painting a couple of rooms and living in our bedroom and bathroom. I am sooo […]

Looking back, I find, can be discouraging so I try to keep living in the moment with flexible plans for the future.  I specify “flexible” because we all know life changes unexpectedly and can put a kink in the best laid plans. My hubby and I were looking for home many years ago. We found […]

The past four days have been really good. My energy and motivation have been high.  My mind has been clearer each day and multitasking has become easier.  I find it hard to sit still for more than two hours, which can be inconvenient and frustrating but I still consider it a blessing. It is so good to be […]

Today has been a wonderful day. For the first time in ages, I woke up feeling fairly rested, energetic and ready to meet the day. I was looking forward to making a really nice breakfast for my spouse. I was able to multi-task, washing dishes and cleaning up at the same time I was cooking! […]

Life is a journey to be enjoyed, overall. There should be hills, pastures, glorious color and interesting people to interact with along the way. Occasionally, one gets lost in dark valleys, perhaps even falling in some deep pit along the way. Without realizing it, I’ve been walking along the edge of valleys for quite some time and […]
