Project Sorry, not sorry

Depression, Uncategorized 1 Minute
  1. I am not sorry that I am in love with Egg McMuffins ( if you have healthy, homemade options please share your recipe … I have a problem!) #eggmcmuffinsarecrack
  2. I am not sorry that I told my son that too much texting will give him turrets in his thumbs (I am not sorry I accidentally typed Turrets instead of Tourette’s because that is almost funnier..)
  3. I am not sorry that I do high karate kicks at the grocery store to show the clerk I am wearing slippers
  4. I am not sorry that I tell Starbuck’s baristas my name is ‘Sam’
  5. I am not sorry that I tell my family all the goings on of my bathroom habits
  6. I am not sorry that I tell my daughter to give a wink and a finger gun when she doesn’t know what to say.
  7. I am not sorry that I told an obscure acquaintance that accidental bottom to bottom contact is called a ‘moon landing’
  8. I am not sorry that I hug large stuffed animals in stores (and my collection is ever increasing at home)
  9. I am not sorry that I insist on a regular basis to my husband that I am delightful
  10. I am not sorry that I meow at our cat or speak baby talk to our dogs
  11. I am not sorry that I left my clean, folded laundry in the middle of the kitchen table for a week.
  12. I am not sorry that my husband shows off his amazing dance moves in public
  13. I am not sorry that I occasionally leave my bra on the stairs and that it makes my son say “ew!!! mom!!”
  14. I am not sorry that a)I own a carebear onesie b) I bought one for my friends too c) that I insisted we wear them out into the world (You’re welcome Walmart and Tim Hortons)
  15. Finally, I am not sorry that I am sharing this with all of you. I have found freedom in my depression to just be me. I am DELIGHTFUL dagnammit!!

I am a 40 + Canadian gal who feels like I have lived many lives. My current life consists of raising 4 foster babies ages 4 and under. It is crazy. It is hard. And it is so very good. In my spare time (insert laugh here) I am multi certified/licensed as a fitness instructor and working on more. Mid life crisis much? I often find myself in a place where within the messy chapters of my life (Depression is part of this makeup of mine), I occasionally find my voice and feel compelled to share. This may only be because I am more extroverted than not more so than because I have something life altering to convey. I hope to openly and vulnerably share my life with a huge dose of humour and maybe a pinch of sarcasm. The underlying premise of everything I put forth is my faith which is grounded in love, hope, forgiveness, and grace.
