I woke up. It was earlier this week when I was getting ready to do my Wednesday Hodgepodge questions. One of the questions was ‘what was a concern of yours 5 years ago, and is it still a problem’.
So I went back and began to re-read Dackel Princess from 2008. I was happy and busy and active. As I read, post after post, I realized something so profound, like a wet fish, it came up and hit me in the face.
This year, I have been depressed!!!
Now granted, it has been more than a challenging year, with many different downers, but you know, if life gives you lemons, make lemonade, right?
I realized that I had two options. I could continue to sink further and further into depression, or I could:
Get up in the morning, put a smile on my face, and show the world, all the love in my heart!
I have chosen to take the world by storm and find my way back to happiness! One day at a time!
It is one day at a time. I am glad I can see through the veil of grief in my life right now and be happy with many parts of my life. It doesn’t mean that I am depressed, grief is not depression. Although grief can cause people to become depressed. I am up each morning, showered, dressed taking care of life, going places, cooking, cleaning, football games, watching babies, but underneath I feel grief and sadness for the loss of my Mother. Love YOU, Mel
I always loved that album! Keep on with the smile <3 love you!
