Long Week

This last week has seemed to go on forever. Bad weather, cloudy, cold, rain, snow. In the midst of all this family crisis. Not mine. My extended family, one of my friends. If you know anything about me at all. You know I am reliable and true to my family and friends. Linda's brother passed away this week and her car was not running at all.
so I took her where she needed to go until Keith could get her car running. So later this morning I will pick her up so she can have her car back. I know her funds are very low at this time. She has helped every way she can with her family expenses.
I am more that happy to help when needed. Linda is a person who will go out of her way to help you. I can't count how many times she has come to help out with my problems.
With all that has went on it is amazing that I have not had to go back on my depression medications. That has been a daily battle for me since I can remember.
This year I have been free of medication. I think it has to do with my family and friends being there for me. Listening to me whine and cry the blues. On top of that.
I am exercising. Walking, riding my bike, playing with the horses and even painting things barns, fence, garage and a little on the house. Wait till next spring. Painting is like cleaning the kitchen you dread it. Once it is done you can see the brightness and what you did to make your world colorful again.
I don't drink as I know I would be in the gutter. Liquor and depression is a deadly combination.
I have to thank Amber for getting me out to go ride every weekend we can. I have been riding Beemer and she has been riding Chico. Chico is the older horse and I don't want him to have to carry me around. They are both very good horses and hardly ever spook. Yesterday it was cold and windy. She got me out there and we had a good time. The ride was slow. As the horses where hoping they would not be ridden until spring.
Beemer wanted to turn around up until the half way mark. There were semis. Chico doesn't like them when they come at him. Amber is doing very well with him on holding him in place. All in all it was great and I needed it so much.
I have found it I do the things I love to do in life than my depression stays hid.
My doctor says this is the best he has ever seen me. I would rather not take the medications if I don't have too. It has taken so long for me to find the right medication that works for me. Right now I am just happy not to have it.
My plans for the day are to pick up Linda get her car back to her. Then I hope to go to Jenny's she has a new horse I can not wait to see. I would say it has been a good year since I have been to her house. Taking care of my parents has slowed my social life down. The waking phone service has all but stopped me from talking to Nicole. I do worry about her as her hubby is over seas in the military. I think we all worry about him. I have only talked to Angie once since Freckles came home after weaning time.
Have a great Sunday and thank your lord for his blessings.
