~ EMOTIONS ~

On Friday evening, I went to see The Passion of Christ . What can I say... What a movie... Yes it is very graphic but what a movie...
Mel Gibson did good with this and He is in the movie. He hold the nail because he says He died because of me for me so I feel that it is important to do it .

As most of you know, I became a Christian 4 years ago. I never knew that I could have a relationship with God. He has Blessed me in lots of way and sometimes I forget. But watching this touching and moving story, refreshed and re-confirmes my faith. The emotions that His Mother must of went thru was so well depicted, it tore us up. Mom came with me to see and both her and I came out of there shaken.

It is incredible that a movie about a book that had been around forever, would make such an impact with ALL religious groups. IT LOOKS LIKE A REVIVAL.... And I am ready.

On this Sunday morning, off to church so ............Be Good and God Bless \o/

~ Never Say Never ~

I have dealt with depression and all it's forms throughout my life. When I finally broke down and went thru a severe depression, I had people around me, saying, It is all in your head or Only weak people have a burn-outs ...

Let's face the facts... First of all.. Burn-Out is a yuppie way of saying Depression... Second of all, weak people don't have depression, they just feel like they do ALL THE TIME. The ones that are strong are the ones that fall the hardest... Trust me.. Because when you are in it, you basically tell yourself that YOU ARE OK, first mistake.. Talk to yourself and listen to our loved ones... They see the side that you try to hide (very badly) and can get you help. Let yourself be open to suggestions and helping hands.

All this to tell you that, 2 of these people, the ones that couldn't understand about depression, are actually in one and are off work and on meds and are in a bad way. I wish my friends would listen to advise and not dismiss it.

At Christmas, our church family lost a great lady to depression and it's very dark side. She & I use to talk often and I am still, today, so upset that she couldn't find help. And yes I feel like I could of help.

So on this, listen to your body, stop and breath more often. Talk to friends, doctors and even to your diary. If you are not OK, you can't take care of anyone.

OK enough, take care everyone and......... Be Good

~ First day at work ~

How was my first day... Well not bad. It is not glamorous but it's OK. I will make it fun, like I always do. The people I have met so far are very nice. I will take it one day at a time.

Yesterday, Alex, the girls & I went to church. We hadn't been in a couple of weeks. We always feel so good after a service. Pastor Mario blew us all out of the water with his sermon. Lots to think about.

On this long Monday evening .......... Be Good
