My mind is clear and focused.
My heart isn't racing for no apparent reason.
My fingertips aren't going numb and my legs don't feel like Jell-O.
My anxiety has vanished, just as quickly as it came storming in.
Deep breathes.
The silence isn't consuming.
The storm outside isn't depressing.
Contentment is here.
Nothing has changed.
But that's anxiety.
Sometimes there are definite triggers that set it off.
Sometimes, a lot of times, it's just nothing.
I have a dear friend who sent me a bunch of quotes about anxiety and depression. This particular one has sung true for me...
"I yearned to get better; I told myself I was getting better.
In fact, the depression was still there, like a powerful undertow.
Sometimes it grabbed me, yanked me under; other times, I swam free."
With the kitchen done(ish), the dining room complete and the living room finished (I'll post pictures of that later) I have decided to take a break and just enjoy what we have accomplished so far! It's kind of nice to have those painting projects under out belt. I can't wait to redo our countertops in the kitchen and fix the flooding issues in the basement:)
I had another idea for the ColonyShop. A charm bracelet called "The Ebenezer Bracelet". You can add different charms to it to signify key moments and monuments that God has brought you through. Each disc would stand for something different. Maybe it's just special moments you have walked through like the birth of a baby, your wedding day, the day you got saved, or a season marked with hurt or pain that you found yourself tested through. Who wants to be my first test subject! The bracelet with 1 charm will be $10 and then add an extra dollar for each additional charm/memory.
Ok, this rain is making me tired so I gotta get up and move around a little bit.
Happy Friday ya'll!
