and Purposeful Prose
Image by Jarkko Mänty from Pixabay Recently I found myself asking this question when I woke up with the thought, I'm tired of everything………….. I know from experience that having no interest in anything can mean that you're depressed. However, I wasn’t sure what I was feeling, only that I couldn't think of anything that really floats my [...]
Unbelievably I have completed this college journey. Last Friday marked my final day of practicum. 🥳🥳🥳🥳 If I have provided all the documentation, then I should, in due time, be informed that I have graduated and can apply for my Early Childhood Educator 1 year licence. In the meantime my ECEA (assistant) licence has been [...]
My mind is tired The path is worn I've been pushing up this hill forlorn The weight of another day ahead The road long traveled Is wearing my tread. But I still have breath And I'm still alive The way isn't clear But I still can rise I can’t see the answers But I'm still [...]
Another day without rest Fighting with feelings Feeling trapped and deflated But knowing God's timing is best. Another day she is blessed Drawn by a notion She's caught in emotions But knowing she'll fly from her nest. Given time and great patience Steadfastness and raisins (What?

Were not our hearts burning? Yes, when He spoke with us on the road to Emmaus. Reclining at the table, Jesus broke bread with us! He opened up the Scripture to us! But we were slow to believe Wanting proof, some went to the tomb and found it empty. The prophets had spoken these things! [...]

Like a river to the ocean She was gently drawn down lovely streams Following the current Of all she loved and passionately believed. Some days were grey Her strength grew weak But still [...]
Last Winter I really started struggling with music, particularly finding what spoke to me where I was. I felt terrible that songs that once lifted me up only made me feel worse. I'm still sifting through music looking for those songs that hit the right note. Perhaps you can relate. It's easy to listen to [...]
I want to grow wings And rise up again Will I find my way? Do trials ever end? I want to live I want to be free Will I find my passion That I lost at sea? When I fall, will I rise? Will I hear God's song? Will I find my strength When I [...]
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 [...]
