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.

Blessings from Heaven

Do we ever experience messages from Heaven?  I believe we do, but I will let you decide.  We lost a son 14 years ago, this month, stillbirth.  We named him Logan.  One day in church, as we were holding hands with others in the congregation, I had no one to hold my left hand.  When I suddenly had my experience with our son.  He was there, I know he was, not as a child, but as a young adult.  There is more to this story.  I will save it for another day. So today, I went to the dentist.  I usually have my husband go with me.  But that was not in the cards today.  I had to have a tooth extracted and it was a quick decision to have it done today.  As I was lying there with Nitrous going, yes I know many of you will believe this was because of the Nitrous, but I assure you it was not, I asked our lost son, Logan, to come sit with me.  He did come, he held my hand.  I asked him, “ Logan, what kind of troubles and great memories would you have given me if you were here?”  His response, “Mom,

Two years, what has changed?

Life changes constantly, seasons, family, foods even we change.  One thing stays constant, God loves us continually.  I have struggled with being known as “Shelly, you know the lady that makes cards”.  Why is that such a struggle?  I want to be known as “Shelly, a child of God”.  I have strayed from card making in order to find what God has intended for me.  What have I found?  I am a child of God.     I have a gift/talent for making cards.  That talent was given to me by God.  By pulling away I have only harmed myself and hurt my Heavenly Father by not using the gift/talent he gave me.  How did that hurt him?  I was not sharing the love, hugs and smiles through card making.  This Child is ready to move forward.

Time Flies

Where has the time gone? I have heard my whole life, "the older you get the faster time flies."  It is so true.  I still don't understand it, but it is true just the same.   I have truly  missed blogging.  I have become a stay at home mom and schooling our children.  What an adventure that has been.  I love it!  They have taught me more that I have taught them, I think.  It is, however, good to be back.  I just wanted to say, "hello."   So, "Hello, and May God help me daily in my blogging revisited.  Thank you for stopping by and I hope you come by again". Hugs and Smiles to all, Shelly
