Shut Down Mode

It's been over a year since my last post.  I started this blog because I love to write and share about the things that make me happy and to have a place where friends and family can be a part of that. 2013 was a rough year and I truly didn't think that anything I had to say would be positive, so I just didn't say ANYTHING!  Looking back,  I realize that there were a lot of good things, I just focused on the bad.  I realized that I had a pity party for myself and missed so many great opportunities to share what was "right" in 2013. Life can be hard sometimes and life events can trigger emotions that send a person into a tail spin without fully knowing what the hell is going on. Especially when your in the fog of it all!! I'm happy to say that the fog has lifted and I can actually see the beautiful blue sky once again.  I have energy, motivation, presence of mind and a new appreciation for life and all that it can be. My spiritual life took a back seat and I know that God's grace was extended to me even when I turned my back on HIM!  Thank you God for allowing me to see that I have courage, power and self love to get me through the hard times and for a better understanding of what Depression truly is.  I am blessed and I am loved!
