We actually had some rain on Tuesday and Wednesday. No big deal rain, but things got wet! =) I'm thankful for every drop that falls in July, because most Julys we don't get any rain, and everything dries up. The temperature fell to 86 Tuesday afternoon because of clouds. Yesterday took a long time to climb to 100 degrees.
My beautiful grand nephew has had many surgeries in his young life, and God has kept him protected through them all. Oliver was born with Phelan-McDermid Syndrome.
Our oldest daughter has been coming over every few days and getting our home organized! She has
done a beautiful job. A fourth bedroom that had become unusable because of "stuff" in there has been
cleaned completely, and will be made into Brianna's bedroom. Yesterday we went to WalMart to look for cute girly bedroom things that Brianna loves. Daughter also cleaned out a closet that we had filled with unused games. I hate board games. (gasp!) Now the closet will be used to store the army of books I've collected through the years. I not only love to read, I must own the book for myself. *sigh* Hello, my name is Dianne and I must own books, not borrow them.
We are getting a new roof put on, and gutters and siding, and new windows. We have needed these things for years, but just now felt like we could afford them (with help of a loan). Trying to not panic!

Life is hard, soften it up for someone today.

I've suffered from depression too. Since I've started exercising, I've been doing quite well. The endorphins are doing their job. I feel generally happy and I've begun trying to set fitness goals. Now I'm able to focus on
my goals & accomplishments instead of things that depress me.
Praying for you to overcome!!
Praying for you Dianne.
{{Big Hug}} Dianne! Sorry about the depression. I am so glad that you know the Lord and have His help with this.
I feel so much better when I walk to Leslie Sansone's DVD's. Easy yet I do feel like I am accomplishing something good like Penelope.
Music therapy helps me. A good session of praise when I go for a ride alone in my car with the music playing.
And then I cry out to God and talk out loud to Him in my car as I drive in the country. Good therapy. (:>)
Then there is always a nice long talk with a friend...that helps me. And praying for others gets my mind off of my own issues.
Not trying to be anything but encouraging here. There are times when I just don't know what to do either when I am in a funk. "But then I remember my favorite things...and then I don't feel so bad!" (Love that cheery little song!)
Love ya, And I am saying a prayer for you right now!

Oh,...and I forgot to say that I am happy for you to be getting things done around the house with the new roof and windows etc. That will be so nice.
So glad your oldest daughter has been helping you clean and organize and decorate. That's great!
Take care!
Linda
