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.

2/23/22 - Vincent

2/23/22

I have a love of many forms of art: written, musical, paintings, even food. It is a special treat to find an intertwining of more than one art form. Such is the case with the song "Vincent" by Don McLean. In my personal opinion, Don McLean created a musical masterpiece that pays homage to a creator of masterpieces, Vincent van Gogh.

Written exclusively by Don McLean, "Vincent" was released in 1971 on his "American Pie" album. In an interview with McLean, he says he was reading a biography of van Gogh when he was inspired with the idea of writing a song about him. After a lot of thought, the song he created was a homage to van Gogh and his paintings. The lyrics ring of empathy for Vincent van Gogh's struggle with mental illness. A great example of this are the lines, "Now I understand /What you tried to say to me /And how you suffered for your sanity /And how you tried to set them free." While "Starry Night" is mentioned directly in the song, there are many other paintings of van Gogh's that are alluded to in the song.
