And while some things haven't changed, other have progressed.
For the past few weeks, I've found myself in some sort of deep depression. I didn't feel like doing too much of anything. Sometimes, when all hell breaks loose we tend to feel as though there's no hope and we are hanging on by a thread.
Then I realized the only person that can keep me from being happy is me. Not a bad relationship, not that cookie that's keeping me from losing weight, saving money so I can have more...Literally it was ME that kept ME from being happy!
It's amazing that sometimes it takes us a while to finally "get it," but when we do we discover in the process love beyond the hate, a sweet embrace beyond the thorny pains, and just how strong we truly are.
And that, my friends, is my favorite thing of all. :)

Ah! I know depression. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better now.
Well hello there...it has been awhile since I've seen you around, however I also have been scarce from time to time in different years and seasons...due the relentless complexities of being a human on this planet! I feel your pain....been there, done that...and on more than one occasion too,I might add. And like you...I finally decided that the only person who could help me get in a good place again...was ME! And being your own life support is not for the meek or weak...it takes strength and fortitude to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, give yourself a good ole' fashioned pep talk, and carry on. But YOU CAN DO IT! I know, because I can to. In the end we will be our own best friend, or our own worst enemy....the choice is ours and ours alone to make, as NO ONE else can do it for us. And although I do believe strongly in a higher power and creator..."I am the Master of my Fate and the Captain of my Soul". So Sail On friend...Sail On....you're here for a reason! :o)♥
This is why I love you guys and gals. :) Thank you both.
