Guided by prompts from WDC blogging challenges... and of course, life

HI! I'm Jenn - and I'm all over the place (well, at least my mind is). In this blog, I have attempted to gather my thoughts on things prompted/inspired by WDC blogging challenges from "Journalistic Intentions"

, "The Soundtrack of Your Life"

, "Blogging Circle of Friends "

, "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"

and, well, LIFE.

Nothing to worry about... It was just the ghost of Jerry Lee Lewis passing by.

Glad you're OK.

That's the truth! I always seem to find ways of putting myself right where there is possibility of exactly that, but somehow usually manage to stay safe and unharmed. Someone greater than me is looking out for me, of that I am certain.

In response to "What Goes Up Must Come Down"

Hey, My heart goes out to you. I can relate. I'm Bipolar also. They diagnosed me as manic-depressive years ago, but it still took years for a diagnosis. I'm doing much better these days, but still have my highs and lows. The combination of Lexapro and Abilify has been the greatest help. I've tried a lot of different medication combos, and I have to say that just adding Abilify has helped me greatly!

My furbabies are everything to me. They're always near. I have two terrier-mix little girls. I wouldn't even want to think of what life would be like without them. They may be dogs, but they're good for hugs, cuddling, and talking to. They've been with me through thick and thin.

You're so right, they are definitely perceptive. They know when you need extra attention, and they know when to keep an eye out for you. They are definitely a blessing from God.

If you ever need to talk or just rant, feel free to write me.

I hope you're feeling better.

Thanks for reading and understanding, it means a lot. And I agree, my fur-boys are definitely gifts from God too!

LeJenD, you're not by yourself. I've battled depression in cycles throughout my life so far. I think in some ways, it's hereditary. As an adult, I have become convinced, that my Mom had undiagnosed Bipolar Disorder. When she was feeling "good," she'd take my brother and me to "the big town" to play all day. When she was feeling "bad," I had my hands full counseling her for hours. Who knew that wasn't a teenager's job?

Poetry has become such a balm for my soul. The depression is still there, but it seems to bring some level of relief when I put my feelings down in a poem. Amazingly enough, some of my best poetry has been written when I was depressed. The Lord has graciously given me the gift of poetry.

BTW, dogs are quite perceptive animals. Mine is lying on the floor near me as I write. I think she's a gift from God, too.

2/9/22 - Lord I Hope This Day is Good

2/9/22

In 2021 there were many days that I knew were going to be doozies from the time I woke in the morning. The pain was too much, being around people overwhelmed me, I stressed over financial problems - that sort of thing. Of course, I would pray for a better day than how I felt it starting out. Inevitably, I would play music to help soothe my ill and weary soul. One of the main songs I would play was "Lord I Hope This Day Is Good" sang by Don Williams. Today has been one of those days and I found the song already playing in my head when I woke this morning. I hope it helps - and Lord, I hope this day is good.

"Lord I Hope This Day Is Good" is listed now as a classic country song and was written in 1981 by David Hanner. It was released in November 1981 on Don Williams' album "Especially for You" and became Don's twelfth hit on the country charts. It stayed at number one for a week but spent a total of 20 weeks on the top country music charts. Since its first release, it has been covered by artists like Leanne Womack and Anne Murray - and the song stays as beautiful as ever, regardless of the singer.

Have a pleasant day everyone. I pray y'all's days are good too.
