Thank You God for Cymbalta

Is it really August?  And it is half over?  Sounds strange for all of you, I'm sure.  But for me, what a hurdle.  I made it through July.  Seasonal Affective Disorder really hits home for me and July is usually my worst month, and I just realized I made it through.  I had many hurdles during the month of July this year and I made it through.  I am so excited!  A couple of years ago I had told my doctor my life would be so much easier if we could just wipe July off my calendar.  Come to find out I have reversed Seasonal Affective Disorder.  The summers too much day light affects me. 

Last year I started going down in July and by November found myself so depressed, yes, I wanted to leave this beautful place, didn't know how, just wanted to leave.  My doctor then prescribed me Cymbalta.  I feel refreshed and new.  How amazing is that?   I am able to live my life without wanting to stay in bed.  I am not crying everytime life gives me a little jolt.  I can stand on my own two feet and tell others that today, I need to take time for myself and my family.  And the housework I have accomplished.  AMAZING!  You probably couldn't tell if you walked in today, but I have been decluttering, totally rearranged my kitchen cabinets.  There were things in there I forgot I had.  Most of which had to go, because evidentally I didn't need them. 

Am I a rambling Idiot?  Okay, maybe.  But in high school I took a psychology course and the motto was, "Get high on Life".  And I truly am.  God has given me my life back with an awesome med call Cymbalta.  It may not help everyone, but I know my family and myself are very happy it has helped me.  Now let me see if I can catch up that pile of laundry.

God's Blessings to all of you
Love, Hugs and Smiles

P.S.  Did it really take getting off of Facebook to realize this?  I guess so.  I pray you can get your life back too.

The Simple Things

Get out of the chaos of everyday life and get back to the simple things.  My idea of the simple things are spending time with my family, picking berries, and baking.  Do I do these daily?  Of course, not.  But strive to get my life back in order to accomplish them more often.  Today, I want to share my bread recipe.  This is my basic recipe that I use for all breads.  I just change it to suit my families needs for the day. Homemade White Bread 1 Cup Milk 1 tsp salt 2 Tbsp butter or oil 2 Tbsp sugar or honey 3 Cups flour 1 Tbsp yeast I use a bread maker for mixing.  Ingredients go into the bread maker in the order listed.  I like the bread maker because I don't have to be concerned about the rising temperature or time.  I put it on the dough setting and it is ready in 90 minutes.  I take it out and make rolls or loaf.   I put it in the oven at 170 degrees til it has risen to the size I want, then turn the...

Stamping Saturday

Image
I am an avid stamper, as Rush Limbaugh would say, talent on loan from God.  As we live life, many of us tend to get so caught up in our daily routines that we forget to be happy.  When this happens, we start looking for happiness.  As Snoopy is showing us, we look everywhere.  But what we need to be doing is looking within.  Remember what it is within ourselves, we enjoy and enjoy it to the fullest.  We cannot look for happiness in places, things or in others.  Happiness is found within.  Look for the seed of happiness that God gave to you and nurture it to full maturity and you will find yourself smiling before you  realize it and maybe even skipping, like Snoopy.  Hugs and smiles to all.

Hard Times

You remember hard times?  Still having hard times?  You know the times that others, label people, place judgement on them.  We have all been through that and let's face it, we are all guilty of it.  We are sinners.  None of us are perfect.  I pray we all can find it in our hearts that when we want to do this, we will have the power to put our stones back in their place and look in the mirror and ask God to forgive us and remember God loves us all equally.  Even when it may be hard because we have let Him down.  Please take the time to help those that have let Him down, to see Him, to know Him, to have the courage to turn from their ways and to ask for His forgiveness. Let your light shine, so that others may open their hearts and receive His comfort. Hugs to all of you.
