April A to Z 2020 Letter J Joy Finding Joy In Times Of Struggle.
Another. I am not going to let another week go by that I miss out on completing a post for Five Minute Friday. This week is another week of staying home during our states stay at home mandate.

I was hoping to use this week to plan and prep to be more organized when we go back to virtual school on Monday. Then…

Darkness This weeks writing prompt for Five Minute Friday is Darkness. I have spent so much of my life fighting depression. Fighting my way out of the depression. The weight of not being able to find joy in the blessings in life. Feeling guilty for not feeling joy for the things I should.
Mental Health Matters First off to my faithful readers I have to apologize that in the last month I’ve been quite forgetful and scattered with my posting. Please forgive me and stick around as I try to get my act together. Thanks for reading.

Saving your sanity when recovery requires restricted activity level This last week I have not been able to be up and around much due to some illness that remains a mystery. During the time my body is demanding I rest I was reminded of prior times of being frustrated at being laid up. Then I remembered this post I had started previously. So I am here to revive it and finish it so that it can help someone else. This way I am not being unproductive while being under the weather. When I was on bedrest during my twin pregnancy…
Mental Health Awareness I want to be an advocate and support others but lately I’m struggling to get through a normal day. I wrote a quick post on Ko-Fi this morning: Not Just World Mental Health Day. I am having a hard time because I feel I’m not doing enough or making too many mistakes. I am seeing my numbers dropping.

My wanting everyone to like me (unrealistic I know)What…

Five minute Friday linkup we set a timer for 5 minutes and write about the word prompt. This week the prompt is willing. Willing. Willing to do what? Willing myself to feel better is what first pops into my mind. Willing myself to think positive to fight the dark cloud of depression. Willing to push through and get stuff done in spite of the chronic pain. Willing to listen to my body and rest when it tells me I need rest. I am willing to bloom where I am planted . I am willing to advocate for others and speak…
