'Kay, I Feel Better Now, Thanks!
What a nice thing....coming up out of a funk. My mom used to go into those ALL the time and she'd say, "I'm in a blue funk." Well, I never liked the sound of that and I didn't think I'd ever have that problem, although I did tend to get depressed and have mini nervous breakdowns. It's perfectly human to go down the drain and feel like you've ended up in the waterways, floating along to somewhere and not knowing where! To keep this as short as possible, I'd like to thank those of you who knew that I was struggling and prayed for me. The stuggle may not be completely over, but, I FELT those prayers at a specific time of day. And that is exactly when things shifted for the better. All I ever wanted was to live sort of a fairytale life but only the good parts. I wanted to be the happy ending cinderella, not the ever-scrubbing, mistreated, disrespected, misunderstood and misquoted one. There's more fairytale desires but I'll leave that out for now. ANYway, as I look through my Bermuda photos, I am encouraged and reminded that there will always be a place for me that is God designed. What could be better than that!??? So, I'm hangin' in, hangin' on. I've been given some blessings and today, I laughed alot. Now, I get to eat a couple of Richy Rich's Dream Cookies. Hubby hasn't made these in a Loooong time. So, yum.

So glad you are doing better! I think is impossible to live a fairytale life with out the scrubbing, mistreated, disrespected, misunderstood, misquoted part! (at least here)
Have a great weekend.
i
u beyond words!!!!!!
really.
hope your weekend is abundant and blessed as you bless those around you!!!! m
I will continue to lift you up. Love you, and you know God is right there! (((HUGS)))
You have some beautiful pictures here! Sounds like God has been faithful during a hard time. I love it when I realize His faithfulness and see how God is working in my life!
What an original way to describe a depression...we say this: Ik zit in de put.
Put up a lot more pictures of Bermuda and hang them also up and around your place where you blog....it helps a bit....At our age, isn't depression really being a bit homesick...like: for Bermuda with your husband..?
Bless you

@floridayankees - I'm thinking alot of us can relate at some time or another! Now, to conquer the battle! That's why I love Christ so much...He's the only one who can provide the real victory!
@oldfatgramma - It does seem impossible, but hopefully will improve!
@mellibella - Thank you so much, sweet "m"!!! And someday, we'll have us a coffee shop date! And do a joint photo shoot! Would that be SO FUN????
@ABAHM - I'm feelin' it, my Jenny! I'm SO thankful for you!!!
@kamrandolph - Realizing His faithfulness is definately a huge step in the right direction!!!
@Ariadone - "a bit homesick"... for Bermuda with my husband is absolutely part of the whole problem! We still need time to rest and relax from everything this summer has brought us! Thankfully, God has given us moments, pockets of alone time this week to gather our wits and express concerns. It's a blessing! "Ik zit in de put"...I shall use that when I need to express myself in a different way! I do have a little bit of Dutch in me! ( :
I just read your comment on Wild Woman's site, and wondered where your girl is going to school in TX. Our son went to LeTourneau. He graduated about 5 years ago.
Bless your heart! I can certainly understand why you'd want to skip the bad parts of the fairytale. I get that way myself sometimes. I think the hardest thing I've had to learn is that life is a roller coaster and I'm more comfortable being a spectator.
Ok, what are Richy Rich cookies!?!
@SealedbyGrace - Ah yes, the roller coaster! Um, as for Richy Rich cookies, they are a special chocolate chip cookie recipe from my husband. I really should post it for you but have no time right now! ) 8
