Where have all the writers gone?

LAUGH, out LOUD.......six weeks? Where did I go for so long? How is it possible that I just ignored my blog, facebook, and any other form of social interaction for 6 weeks?

Anxiety. Depression. Intervention. Help. Comfort. Baby Steps (think "What About Bob"). Therapy. Marriage Therapy. Loving Mentors. Inspired Bishop. Vigilant Heavenly Father. Christ's Atonement. Music. Words of wisdom. New medications. Hope. Actively Changing thinking patterns. Self-hypnosis/meditations. Acceptance. Decisions. Courage. Movement. Determination. Meekness. Humility.

If depression were a leg break,

And anxiety a cane,

I'd walk past friends and neighbors

whose swift look would know my pain.

My medicines would be just like

a marker signed so slow

As those who knew and loved me

wrote well wishes on my soul.

My healing could be seen 

with just an x-ray in short time.

But the impact of life's challanges

can't be read with MRI.

So, I turn to Christ and trust in God

and hold my husbands hand

Treasure my children's smiles and laugh's

and hope they understand.

There are millions out there in the world

who suffer just like me.

The answer is to turn our eyes to 

the night at Gesthemene.

For Christ, the Savior of the World

Felt all our pains and cares

This walk of life is not about how easy it should be.

The hard is there and all about what we choose to see.

As we walk the path he bravely led

Each day of his own life,

He taught us what it means to live

With grace, despite life's strife.
