I think that's what I'm coming out of-gradually....
I do love God. I do have so many things to be thankful for-and I really am thankful! But I'm also smart enough to know when something isn't quite right in my head, and I need to do something to change it.
I'm taking baby steps, but they're in the right direction. Just being able to see negative thoughts or negative mind-set is a big improvement. When I can see it, I can start to take charge instead of letting those thoughts take charge of ME.
I love God's Word where He says He will use everything for my good. I believe it. It will be ok. I'm really painting a bit again. Did you know that that is even important to God? He cares for the tiniest of things, and knows me better than I know myself.
So I hope you are well.
Know this: God loves you.

You have a great attitude. Keep stepping forward till you reach your goal! Hugs, Valerie
Beautiful post! I hear you.
Negativity creeps up sometimes. It takes good effort, and prayer, to push on to positive thoughts.
A few chores put aside due to my sore knee are done. The next day, today actually, my knee is more sore than it has been since before the injection. No sharp pains, though. And I'm laughing about it because the progress I made, that positivity means more than a sore knee.
Really wonderful photos. Have a nice day.
Negativity has a way of creeping up. This is a post to celebrate!
First of all...I love that top picture! Secondly...This is a beautiful post; one we all need to remember and live our days by. You are so creative and talented in so many ways. Don't ever hide those talents under a rock. I think about you often and always hope to see one of your delightful posts pop up on my reading list.
Love your photos and your post. Keep your chin up and keep creating!
Thank you for your lovely words and photos you share, Debra.
Blessings xx
The nice thing is that we live in a cycle and everything keeps coming back ... like summer ... the sun ... the light. Day after day and in small steps.
Warm hug to you.
One day at a time. Love that last photo!
My Dearest Debra - I so identify with your thoughts today. Like you where we live is often gray and not much sunshine. How we love summer!! Take care Hugs!
Wonderful photos that says more than words.
Life really is hard sometimes. We live in a fallen world and are not free from trails and dark days. But I found that knowing that God is in that too. That He is in control gives me great comfort. I will pray for you Debra and may God bless you and keep you 🙏💕
Hello! How is your summer going?
Bless you, sweet friend.
It's going ok....we have super abundant rain :( that is getting to be a problem in some areas. We live on a side hill so we aren't flooded, but many people have water problems.
It's so nice of you to check in with me-I appreciate that!
These past 2 years with the pandemic crisis have indeed affected all of us. I too have often felt like I was labouring under a big heavy boulder...trying to keep going. I feel as if I am slowly getting out from under it and painting a bit more joyfully, instead of as a laboured effort. My goodness who would have predicted that covid crisis? I am glad you are feeling you are getting yourself in a more positive place...it can take a determined effort! I find listening to happy music helps me a lot..
