You have no doubt seen or heard the commercials: "Where does depression hurt? EVERYWHERE. Who does depression hurt? EVERYONE." Mental illnesses can consume you, take over your entire life and hurt everyone around you if you let it. I am no exception.

My life feels like I am stuck riding on a rollercoaster in the middle of a hurricane. I have ups and downs, and I have left a path of destruction in my wake. My sanity dangles on a tiny fragile string, and through this blog I am giving the world a look into my broken mind and my unstable life.

In the end, I am just a girl trying to maintain my sanity in a candy-coated world of misery. Here you'll get a glimpse at just how true those commercials are. Keep your arms and legs inside the blog at all times, hold on tight, and prepare yourself for a very bumpy ride ...

Sometimes you have to stop & smell the ... well whatever the heck these flowers are

Last Sunday I posted some photos of flowers in my backyard (click here). Saturday I had a blood-red flower show up in my front yard bushes. It's only the third flower to bloom on that bush since I moved into this house 1 1/2 years ago. (In person it looks darker than what it looks like in the photo.)





In the back yard, I now have a tree with dark pink bundles of small flowers. As you can see in the left photo below, that tree is next to the one with larger light pink flowers that I took photos of last week. This is the first time the dark pink ones have bloomed.



It's hard to be all negative about life when you're surrounded by nature's beauty every day. I'm so glad that the family who owned the house before me planted all these flower plants.
