Encouraged

It is impossible not to feel encouraged and hopeful when surrounded by so much love. Yesterday, having a bad day and being tired at work, a colleague offered assistance via another colleague who saw that I was struggling with something, and my manager offered for me to go home early. And then So many kind, wonderful, caring, amazing friends here at WordPress, I can feel the love and care, and it is so much needed and appreciated. And it has definitely encouraged.

So to all my friends, near or far, thank you! You mean the world 💕🌸💕

Lover

I dream of you
And when you are far away
My thoughts are close to you
You are with me even though distance
Divides, you are my confidante
The one in which I confide
You are the one I share
My life with, my body
With, my soul with
You are my lover
And my best
Friend

To My Friends

(Including here at WordPress!) (and you Charly too)

I love

That we are supported

In all we need and do

Through sleepless nights

And tortured days

Your love shines brightly through

I love

That we are never alone

Though good times and in bad

When hope seems lost

And in the rain

Your comments make me glad! ❤

Another Sleepless Night

Living with depression, what I’ve found is that small things can be triggers. Something external might happen that will affect my mood, my mood will sink, and the recovery time is long. My mood doesn’t automatically adjust upwards. It stays low. Not having a strong social system does not help. People need communities. And to belong. The past few days I’ve been thinking about my will to live. Wishing myself away. Except for my children. They need a mother. Maybe I’m not the best mother in the world, but I’m the only mother they have. I find solace in poetry. I’ve been reading poetry in the WordPress reader. Everyone having something to say, and going through their own pain and life experiences.

Another sleepless night.

Last Song

And when our lives come to an end
What will our thoughts be then?
What will we think, what will we feel
Would we want our lives again?

Will we be at peace, or be at rest?
Or never want to go
To say goodbye to earthly life
And all that we do know

Post!

Look what arrived in the post today!

My new iPhone cover designed by my dear friend Erika Kind. Erika is always so amazing, helpful and supportive. A ray of light for me. Particularly today my mood is low, and tired because I am awake since 2am. So now I can carry Erika’s enthusiasm with me, and be reminded positivity!
