So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27 I’m a creative person and it’s mysterious to me how ideas and inspiration come. I’m often in awe of what God has helped me produce. Not that I’m such a wonderful […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 279 (May 7, 2010) You know, I’d rather be into rapid cycling than in a solid depression, as I was at this time last year. The lows I go through now only last a few hours. The depression only got alarmingly low one day. That was followed by a high the next […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 276 (April 13, 2010) Amazing how a little creativity – a new project – colour – excitement – can kick start a more positive mood! In the midst of my verge of depression, I had an idea last week. No, it didn’t come from me exactly. It was truly planted there by […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 179 (July 17, 2008) A couple of days ago I visited a blogging pal in hospital. I had for a long time been wanting her to play the piano for me – because I love piano music and because I heard her play one of her songs before and it was beautiful. […]

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 59 (April 9, 2007) Going through the endless ups and downs I’ve been experiencing lately I have come to, once more, realize what a powerful effect our moods have on our lives. I’ve only had several black days but many rather down days. My current life is painting quite a clear picture […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 58 (April 4, 2007) It seems as if every experience with episodes is unique. I don’t think I’ve ever had the kinds of ups and downs I have had recently. I go from a normal state one day to being stuck in a dark pit the next. Don’t know what to make […]
