Pink - Just Give Me a Reason LYRICS

Thompson Square - Glass

getting real

I have always been an upbeat happy person but the last two years have taken a toll on me and my family.  The last four months have been the worst I have ever experienced yet. I have never really experienced real depression or understood it but I believe have been experiencing it. I have been doing a lot of thinking  in the last year I have made some mistakes and some of those have been do to denial and depression. trying to fill a void. I'm not making excuses but coming to a conclusion that I need to to something. I need to do it for me, my family and my relationship. It is really hard and overwhelming to make the changes I want to make because I limited and powerless by my circumstances. Don't know really where to even begin. All I know is that if I am going to get out of this it is up me and fight to do so.
  I refuse to give up. I found a site gives a test to gauge where you are you are in terms of depression:

 Also this sites gives some different therapies.

It times for me to live up to my favorite saying and take a stand:

Gun control?

I have been seeing a lot of posts about gun control on face book A lot for and even more against. While I believe that we have the right bear arms, I also believe that guns don't kill people. It is acts and decisions of people to kill. I understand there are moments of self defense and accidents do happen but for the moment it happens it is decision none the less. I am for protecting yourself but with that comes responsibility.  I think that for the most part gun owners are responsible and those who own and register them are responsible. the whole gun control issue is the government scrambling to push an agenda in response to the tragedy in Connecticut.  Responsible gun owners are the ones being punished out of the deal. i don't understand why the guns are the focus and not the regulations of whom is and how to be licensed and maybe give harsher laws on those who violate the regulations. Increase education and awareness.  The statistics are there but the problem is people don't look to really find them and believe the media as is.  I posted the picture above just cause of the statement it makes. The 60 minutes on 4-7-13 talks about some of these points. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50144358n

Relationships

   I have been through a lot since my divorce and I have learned a lot about myself and what is important.  Most of all I have learned that the things I thought were important are not.  The things we take for granted are the same things we should cherish. At the moment I am missing my kids and all the moments I should be having. I have made mistakes and and realize the true relationships in your life will look past them and lift you up while being brutally honest and hold your hand through those times that are good and not so pretty. The superficial will fade away and run at the first moment of trouble. As of right now I am with someone that I truly care about and even though we are going through a rough time and I'm not sure we are gonna work it out I am in it for real and want more than anything to take those things that I  need to work on and honestly give it my all. I don't want to take anything for granted and give everything I have so that in the end I know I gave it my all. It is also interesting to me how we have turned our relationships into a media based superficial platform and communicate through the computer or text. I understand they are tools and with our bust lives it is easy to get caught up in the this form of communication but I also think that we have to make an effort to make real connections in our relationships. Although I do admit I am just as guilty as the next person in this area, I also am realizing that I am taking certain things for granted and making an effort to take time for the people and relationships that mean the most to me.

Beautiful life!!!!

So love my girls... they are growing up way too fast.......
