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.

2/5/22 - Invincible

Theme - Last Year's Playlist. Which songs were you listening to most often over the past year?

February 5. Momma's birthday. Momma had/has a lot to do with my love of different kinds of music. As I was growing up and finding who I was, she was open to hearing rock, rap (to some extent), loved country and classic rock. She still loves country and classic rock. Just as she encouraged me to love music of all kinds, she did the same for my girls as they were growing up as well. She took my oldest to see a band called Skillet that she had never heard play before my daughter and nephew asked if they could go to the concert. She listened to the music and deemed it acceptable to take the kids, young teens at the time. She had as good a time at the concert as the kids did. She's also the one who introduced me to the Christian rock band. The older I get, the more I appreciate my mom and all she has done for me throughout the years. She and my Dad gave me the foundation to become who I am today, taught me morals, inspired my life.
This is for her. Take a listen. I never thought Christian music could sound like this.

Happy Birthday Momma.
