and Purposeful Prose
Alright, she's on light duty. She also needs to talk about herself in third person. It helps. It really does. Let me ask you how you're doing. I've been running a bit ragged myself. Nevertheless, they call this blessed. I have a poem to go with this. Are you surprised? No, neither am I. But [...]
2AM Can't sleep Can't catch a wink Shut-eye is difficult when eyes are open 2AM poetry is the best Idea yet This isn't a Haiku is it? Nope It went on a bit too long Plus, I think it has too many, uh… What are those things called? Syllables Right! Tina W. March 9, 2021 [...]
Lord, the world is so full of beautiful things The sights and sounds of all that life brings How quickly we adore created things Before the one who brought all into being. Lord help us to remember what must come first Bind our hearts to Yours and teach us to thirst For the things that [...]
The Depressed Christian sounds like such an oxymoron to my ears. Scripture teaches us to be joyful in hope and rejoice in our suffering. For those struggling with depression both of these can seem amazingly difficult at times. However, it's really liberating to share this thought.

I'm also prone to Seasonal Affective Disorder, I have Hashimoto's Disease and I'm in Perimenopause. Add a pandemic and isolation into the mix and it's a [...]
Generally I like to learn. However, depression is one of those lessons you wish you could skip. I'm not talking about feeling down or discouraged. I'm talking about loss of interest and apathy, low mood and motivation. It can leave you feeling joyless, grey and sometimes irritable. I once read a post here on WordPress [...]
