Life is Good!

Ok, I have visited a dark place the past week.  I am happy to say that my world is bright today.  I have a song in my heart and have been visiting my blessings this morning.  I have many that I normally do not take for granted.  I find that when you are in the "dark place" you tend to not see them. I know they are there but you just get caught up in all the dark that the bright dims.  I guess.  Listen to me being all "deep". I have had a wonderful life full of people I love and that love me.  I have a home, a husband (for 26 yrs) a great daughter, wonderful family and friends, a job that is there every day and a pay check.  We are fortunate to have many toys, pets we love and so many things I haven't mentioned. This past week I got a peek at what it may be like to suffer from depression. I can not imagine living day after day in the "dark" I have a  much more sympathetic soul for those who suffer with this. My "episode" was brief and my family understanding for the most part (teenagers insist that it is all about them and husbands feel put out as well) and patient while I sort things out.  Another blessing.  The kicker this morning for me was dropping said great daughter off at my amazing sisters house. Daughter is assisting sister in clearing out her room as she retired this summer from teaching.  A new life for my sister.  I hope it is  full and wonderful.  She deserves all that and more.  I sat there for just a minute as daughter and sister walked up the drive way arm in arm.  I am a lucky woman. God is great.  I am blessed.
