My Garden Court Journal

I am at school right now sitting at a computer surfing the net and getting a couple of things done for class at 11 a.m. I have been up since 6:15 a.m. wide awake to the world of the birds singing outdoors. We were expecting snow and wintery feeling weather coming our way but yet no threat of snow has landed on Wisconsin ground where I live. It is wintery cold out and it is dark outdoors but not yet no snow on the ground. The darkness of the gloomy weather soon shall pass just like my darkened days of anxiety and depression.

Speaking of anxiety and depression, I have been feeling pretty good since Friday morning. I am no longer in the fog-like state that I felt a couple of weeks ago and I have been sleeping well at night. As a matter of fact I slept well Friday night, Saturday night, and last night. Medication was not even needed those days, either. What a change! The weather may be bleak, but I surely don't feel bleak inside me.

Yesterday's benefit for my friend went very well and it was beautiful. I don't know how much money was raised outside the silent auction which was $1500! The food, music, and refreshments were great, and the hostess of the benefit was there with her smile despite the fact that she looked tired and worn out. Hugs and conversation were exchanged between my friend and myself and people came and went as the support for my friend was there.

I have to go for now so I will write more later. Good bye for now.
