In response to "May be..."

May is my favorite month. Iris and trees are in bloom. Yards full of sunshine thanks to the dandelions. Hardly any bees though.

2 week vacation with a friend? They plan. You just go along for the ride!

My trip to England years ago was like that. The trips I plan on my own were anxiety producing. The only up side was that moving around didn't leave much time for depression.

In your opinion, what is the blockage to receiving timely psych appointments? I remember one that didn't help. I did have a good therapist and counselor though.

It's sometimes easier to get meds in other countries where pharmacists have more leeway. Psych vacation for mental health?

Float in epsom salts in a deep claw tub?

Michigan has beaches galore and lots of water. I tell Floridians and Arizonans that the future is Michigan, a blessed fertile land that doesn't turn to dust, need a/c 6 months of the year, and isn't slowly sinking into the sea.

And you have cherries!

I grew up in the Grey Lakes (not a misspelling). I considered May to be spring. March was mud, April too chill.

I've threatened to move to Eastern Montana for the sunshine; but, moving...

A vacation may be a good idea. When can you get away for a week or two? And where would you go in your dreams? (reality usually means a compromise)

In response to "A new dream"

It's possible to dream at any age and, just as important, it's possible to put those dreams into action.

I need this reminder as I'm older than you and fading... but even faded flowers have a purpose.

In response to "When the past returns"

For others this is the first day of spring; but, for me, it's the first day of a new year. I face similar questions. Will I pick up the shards of a broken life or will I allow archeologists to ponder them centuries from now.

In any case going back isn't an option. The places may still exist and even some people may still be there; but, I've changed.

Good to have you back.

I love being around artists because they inspire me. I often write something at a poetry reading... can't help it. LOL

Depressing sleep

Hello Sunshine,

I have been waking up under a heavy blanket of depression. It's not my normal feeling and I really don't like it. I feel heavy and slow. I wonder where my energy has gone and what is weighing me down? I don't get it.

My diet is not that great, so I wonder if that has something to do with this. I also think it is about my current lifestyle. Work and no play is making me crazy. I am struggling with balance. However, I don't feel like it is enough out of whack to be contributing to my heavy feeling.

I guess this is just part of being me. I have to accept that sometimes I have to work harder to feel more alive. I need to put my positive energy into myself.

If I can accomplish my simple chores today I will feel good. I don't have much on my plate but I do know I will be getting out of the house for a long walk! I need sunshine and fresh air.

Love,
Michelle
