Have you ever had a moment when you asked yourself
What Am I Doing?I've had a few of those moment too frequently lately. Then I'd sit in front of the computer and go
WOW!Last year about this time, I knew I had to answer that question. I was at a point where I was just going moment by moment. No direction. No end. No beginning. No light at the end of the tunnel.
My doctor told me after my yearly physical that I had to do something. My iron levels where too low, my cholesterol was to low, my blood pressure was to low, my body was slowing itself down to who know where
(we don't want to go there).
How that happened I don't know. I was an Office Administrator for a law firm that helped the underdogs. Our clients where people who didn't think they had a chance to fight against the big boys. We dealt with some sad cases, medical illness, abuse, rapes, etc. The assistants would have to take the information from the clients and after a awhile it would get to be to much for them and they would come to me and "get it off their chest." And times the client would only talk to me. For 14 years of being a sounding board for all the hurts of the world, I was feeling it.
At home I had two wonderful children growing up into teenagers. AND, we all know how hard that can be. Friends betraying friends, missed assignments, trying to fit in, making honor roll.....these are real concerns that mom need to hear and advise or just listen to.
My loving husband of 16 years was frustrated with his work after being there for over 25 years, needing a change, but to what. So, being the encouraging wife, helped him realize his goal of getting a horticulture certification, where he could tune out his world in peace with his garden.
I didn't have the energy to figure out what I needed, I just kept plugging away to make sure everyone else was getting what they need to grow. That was the time I went to see my doctor, asking
Why Do I Feel so Depressed All the Time?Fast forward a year and here I am. I trained myself out of a job and started focusing on just my family. This gave me the daytime to put the pieces together for me. The Internet has become my Garden of Eden.
I want to fill this blog with all the interesting facts about everything that is real.
