I’m not one for making resolutions. I think most will be broken by mid-January. Instead, I take a pause to think about my life, my health and then wish myself well for the coming year.

There is unfortunately no magic pill or silver bullet to fix your mental health. It takes a combination of hard work, motivation and patience to get yourself well and even then things can still go wrong. I’ve learnt this year that even when I’ve been more well than I have been in years, my illness can creep back in at any moment and take me by surprise.

Don’t beat yourself up for being unwell. It’s not your fault. Try hard to get yourself back on track and know that this too shall pass.

For those spending New Years alone… grab your pjs, a box of chocolates or something yummy. Put your favourite feel good movie…

I’m in love with flowers 🌹

Here’s 5 that make me so happy!

• Daffodils

• Dahlias

• Orchids

• Fuschias

• Geranium

Nature’s kisses in Spring! I love flowers.

It’s been a wild ride at times during 2021 but we made it! Now we can look forward to what the new year brings us. We want to thank you for being a loyal reader and growing with us thru the years. I know we’ll go to new places in 2022.

Be safe if you are out and about on the holiday, we want to see you here next year.

I know someone needs to hear this. I feel this coming to me, as if someone is feeling it. The stronger the feeling, I usually sense another’s experience. I have had my own losses; but, this is something much deeper.

Please let yourself feel all of this, in all the validity that you have.

Warm Hugs!

Growing up, Mother’s depression was a suffocating and

crippling darkness that shrouded over me like a dark cloud.

She reflected on her experiences with depression by describing them

like storms that took her over like demonic possession.

I remember when Mother described how terrifying it was for her

when she crossed into the realm of psychosis,

and lost perspective on how to differentiate between reality testing of madness and lucidity.

This was a woman who would voluntarily check herself into

a psychiatric hospitalization and then break herself out.

But I can appreciate being stupid like a fox or a con artist conning himself.

Been there, done that.

Looking back, seeing Mother’s Higher Self being dominated by her lower self

was enough to drive me nuts.

As much as it was hard for her to breathe,

it was hard for those of us around her to breathe…

Where do you go to disconnect from your thoughts? Melinda

Just Pondering —

2018 ~ I should have listened ~

Taken from Promptuarium

I should have listened to my friends,

When they said, “That’s not a good idea.”

I should have listened when they said,

“It’s getting really late.”

I should have listened to my friends,

When they said, ” He’s just playing you.

Making you his hourly rate.”

I should have listened to my friends,

When I walked into that house,

When he handed me that cup.

I should have listened to my friends,

Instead of fuckin up.

My friends didn’t know I went,

My friends didn’t pour me that drink,

My friends didn’t see the pop “drop”,

Couldn’t carry me when I couldn’t think.

You see,

If I listened to my friends,

I would’ve stayed home, safe,

I would’ve remembered that night,

Instead of questioning rape.

If I listened to my friends,

I wouldn’t wake up

Paranoid

Terrified, Living
