{Sigh}
Did Christmas really come and go so fast? I am really amazed that it was here- it was fun- and it's gone. I really had so many things going and was able to keep on top of most things... then it seemed like the 23rd of December came- and brought me to a screeching halt. I know what I am sharing about myself is deeply personal and don't want to be misunderstood- but I just had a little bout with depression. Looking back over the past few weeks I really can't justify it- I had plenty of love and laughter around me; and I had a lovely Christmas with my little family- but just couldn't shake a bit of despair. I think I am genetically predisposed to it- and I am generally a very even-keel person; but I found myself sad, slow to respond to my kids, and anxious about going out of my house. How sad is that? It was a good Christmas- and we didn't miss anything- Julia's Birthday was great! So, last night I teared-up and had a good talking to with Ryan- and I am okay. I am fine. I just really had a hard time and want to just leave it in the past and move forward. So welcome, New Year. Pleased to meet you.

It is good to share. We all go through moments. That happens when you are super woman even. Maybe it's God whispering a secret, you just have to really stop and listen. Love ya!!
