Dear Blog, I've neglected you, I know. This past year has been one of highs and lows, and I'm not just talking blood glucose - though adjusting to this disease has been hard on all of us. Praise God that Chris takes it all in stride. Dear Blog, I've neglected you, I know. This past year has been one of highs and lows, and I'm not just talking blood glucose - though adjusting to this disease has been hard on all of us. Praise God that Chris takes it all in stride. Emotionally, I've been through many peaks and valleys this past year. Depression has been my battle for a few years now, but this year has been the worst. I seem to vacillate between days of reasonable peace and days of utter despair. In desperation, I did visit a therapist and that one consultation she gave me some tips for overcoming "stinkin' thinkin'." It was advice from the book of Romans, Paul's suggestion that we meditate on what is good, rather than bad. By coincidence, our Bible study this year is on the book of Romans. As I sit here today, I'm on a peak...well, maybe more of a mesa, but definitely not a valley. I submitted some articles, short story and essay, to magazines last week and received my first rejection. I'm not unhappy about it, though. I feel good to be getting my work out in front of people and will keep knocking on doors until one opens. I've got so many story ideas swimming around in my head, the key is to get them from head to hard-drive. One thing that could not be going better for me is this year's home schooling. The boys have been super cooperative and we're having a lot of fun learning ancient history and Latin. Alex loves math, which makes my job easier. We've been reading lots of books and enjoying spending time together. I pray we can ride on this momentum all year. Well, that's it for the moment. I've got several funny anecdotes to write and post, so I'd better get busy. Peace,Cindy.
