Poem: The Ride of Life

Many people liken life to a great big ride and say “just hang on for the ride” as you go.
She never imagined life would take her on this ride. You never know what life will bring you but I say enjoy all it has to offer no matter what comes your way.
There are many different kinds of rides at the amusement parks and state fairs. Each have something unique about them. Some are mellow and safe while some are more adventurous and thrilling. Some go straight up and down; others may keep you in the dark.
Her ride started wild and crazy like a rollercoaster with no end when she got a diagnosis of bipolar and the moods began to swing high and low as she rapidly began to cycle from
moment to moment. Some days and moments were thrilling and exhilarating just as if you were
on a rollercoaster climbing up and turning around. The entire family and all your friends and coworkers
are along on this ride. Then come the days and moments you begin the descent for some there is fear of the unknown.
For this crazy rollercoaster ride there seems to be no end. How many twists, turns, climbs and descents…can anyone get off this crazy ride? Surely some will…but this is a ride I can never leave. But I will hang on and enjoy every moment of the ride of life!

The joy of the little things

On my way back home from a very interesting and exhausting day from work I walked by this little ⛄️ somebody had built on a bench. 🥰
Loved it. Love all the little things that make my life worth living. That piece of chocolate. The snow today. The good coffee I decided to buy myself today. Getting to play with lego with my customer. Funny memes and gifs I got today. Laughing about a joke at work. These things make life so much better for me and always make me smile and thankful for having them.

Am I really ok? How long is this going to last!

Oh my jeez, the last 4 days have been totally amazing for me. I've felt in my heart & spirit the innocence that I did in high school. I've had the mental energy and been open & positive - or seems like a dream! If this is a manic episode I hope it never ends because so many things feel like I've captured all the bits of me I've lost that I have grieved over due to entering the grown up world. It happened gradually but it was a long, painful adjustment.
I can feel every pain from sciatica, back, neck, pancreatic pain. Migration pain. I feel it & process the pain. However there seems no emotional pain! The anxiety remains - lessened, but the depression, for now, seems to have gone.
My doctor recently (3 weeks ago) put me on #Trintellix added to #Effexor for depression. I don't know if this if this is the magical combination for me right this moment... Idk if it's my happiness in life & feeling free having recently gotten everything for my farm paid up and a new horse... My 15 month old grandson lives with me & my daughter & her man. I am blessed beyond all reason!
I've never felt so free. I have obstacles coming my way. There's quite a spend down for medicaid now, I lost food stamps & my daughter's were reduced. She doesn't understand so she's mad at me.
Thank you for reading of you've gotten this far. I wanted to share some joy bc I'm always complaining & wanted to share my JOY!!!!!! 🌻
