February 9, 2025 ~ Sunday

Good morning!

I feel slightly rejuvenated this weekend after a couple of events. One, good talks with Meg about things I need to work on. Setting up therapy for my depression. Cutting soda out of my diet, which has gotten out of control. Getting some exercise. I feel a little hopeful about feeling better in the future.

Another event, an hour or so long talk with my brother yesterday. He has such beautiful things to say. I really don’t know what I’ve done to deserve to be spoken of so highly by him. One thing… he loves me regardless of my flaws. Two, he continues to believe I will make something of myself. Three, he believes I can be a good grandma. Four, I’m jealous of his faith in God. Five, he said something else really special. My gift is my ability to tell my story. I really can do this and have forever. Why have I been forgetting how helpful it can be for others??

Additionally, I spent the entire day and evening with my kids yesterday. I really enjoyed it. I love them so much. Rowan was sweet and loving… Kalob wanted me to pick him up all day. He was loving too and so much fun. Chasing me and being chased. Eating everything in site. Jumping on the sofa!! That kid just started walking and he’s already figured out climbing up and down on the sofa AND… how much fun it is to bounce!

Baby Time! Finding Joy in this Life!

Today, Gabby is going to visit with Junior. And we may take a walk in the mall with him too. Kalob took Rowan to NC to a job with him today. He is such a good father. He’s going to swing by with her on their way back and help me unload my TV stand from my car.

Need to shower soon. ❤️

Need to start looking for my next project, since I finished Gabby’s Diamond painting. I’m thinking maybe I’ll make something for Rowan for her birthday next.

Meds/vitamins. Riley. Coffee instead of soda! Score. Had some water already too. I really need some change and I can do it, I think!

I’m so grateful for making it through more days. My depression has been really tough. All I’ve wanted to do for weeks is sleep, but I feel better right now.

Oh. I gave my book to Meg for a read, which also had my WRAP in it. I was starting to think I wasn’t going to share it with another person. It felt good to do this.

Have an amazing day! I’m going to look at photos and videos from yesterday, after getting ready for Gabby. Shower is necessary.

Oh. I’m trying to decide if I’ll go to my friends’ home and watch the Super Bowl. It would be fun, but it’s a hike to get to them since my move.
