Crazy Cat Lady ~ I think I am

Gizmo

 My apologize, I'm not hanging off the cliff at this point in time, didn't mean to leave anyone else... hanging so to speak. 

I've just been tired.

Shortly after my last post I returned to 'work' @ the local gas/groc store.

I merely went in for gas one day after getting my foot out of the 'boot'/cast; and was asked if I could work 1 night a week... be on call for a couple....

So the first night I returned, I found myself agreeing to 3 shifts on the schedule and a couple 'on call' nights... and by the next day.

I'm back!!

   

Just have to make sure I do stretches before I go.

So, between working at my barn on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays - I will be returning to 'work' as well as working for myself as a Notary.

I managed to keep my Saturday nights and Sundays with Grand kids though. I'm not giving that up this time around. 

Even though the house is full, there is an emptiness since Miss Sophia left us... 

A few new members have arrived 

 Charlie the stray finally decided to move in.

Shortly after her arrival this little guy followed her to the window.

After much deliberation, he has been named 

Felico in memory of our great FELIX, whom he looks just like.

Then there is Tux 

who has taken the loss of Sophia the hardest, she was his 'mum' ..

  .  

Miss Cleo has been hanging out with Lil MoJo, as Mo is expecting and I think Cleo is excited to be an Aunt.

 {These two are sisters from different litters}

   .  

Yes, you counted right. There are 7. I think I'm reaching borderline

Crazy Cat Lady

Yet, no one that has entered my house can even tell there is one cat, much less 7. So no, don't think it 'stinks'. ..

People become surprised as cats start to appear in the room.... 

I often hear " OH, you have a cat, oh wow, there are two?"

I don't know how they know, 

animals just know when they are welcome somewhere.

Walking on the Edge

Depression is no easy feat to live with. {trust me, I know}

Most folks don't even understand it. 

Because depression is associated with sadness, many feel the 'cure' is simply to 'cheer up', 'get over it' or 'stop pitying yourself'.

Life can be going absolutely beautiful. You can have the most wonderful evening, go to bed with happy thoughts....

And wake up to 'ugh'.

Nothing has to 'happen' or 'go wrong'. 

It doesn't have a 'switch' you can turn on or off.

Truthfully, 

It's what others do in this moment that can make it worse or better. 

Some have people in their lives that are always there to 'catch you' when you feel like your walking on the edge.

And then there are those that are ready to 'push you' over the edge; and unfortunately these are usually family.

The best thing you can do, is find a way to 'pull yourself' away from the edge. Because more often than not, when you turn around and look for help, there isn't going to be anyone there. 

People don't fully understand depression.

 I believe God does. 

Sometimes I think our mental illness is due to our disassociation and distance from God. 

The Bible speaks of a 'sound mind' for those that are close to God.

Funny, 'professionals' think if you believe in something they can't see or feel, your deemed crazy.

Either way, remember this ~ 

People fail people.

God never fails us. 

The closer you walk with God, the further you get from the cliffs.
