Serenity is a funny thing or maybe I should say happiness is. I always thought if the kids would behave, if the bills would be paid, if my house was just so, the job, etc, etc. Even if that were all true, it still is dependent on my perception. My perception is my reality. So if I want my reality to change, I'll just tweek the antenna and change my reception altering my perception and thus reality change wa la. If only it were that easy! But you get the idea. My serenity needs to be based on my spirituality and my Creator. My Depression Journal is so depressing anymore, even when I'm a bit depressed. That fact is, hope has grown much stronger making it more difficult to concentrate so much on my depression. It makes me smile. I still have alot of bad habits to overcome thanks to depression including procrastination, the worst! Good thing my walk with my Creator gets me through alot. After all he sent me so many nice people! Got to love that.

It is true that perception is really important. I love your serene face on this page and the way the beautiful handwriting drifts across her as if she is dreaming.

Yes! I work on perception and changing it when needed, all the time, too! It really is an amazing thing, isn't it? I wish you more joy and hugs to you for the strength you show, always. I admire you. K

Love that face - and that set of stamps has always been my favorite of the "Love" stamps! Might be the color, or just that I really like purple pansies. Sounds like you're doing what you need to do, so keep it up :) I wish I weren't such a procrastinator - working on it.

I think it is important to have a passion in life. No matter what it might be. Having a passion takes us out of ourselves and into life. It gives us a lot of purpose in life. I can see your artwork drawing you out of depression and into a great new beginning. Your journal page is lovely.
