Depression, Uncategorized 1 Minute

How can you tell the difference between a friend and a sister/friend (not sister wife)?

  1. You share knowing looks
  2. You share private jokes and mischievous plans
  3. You have seen one another in your skivvies
  4. You text one another almost exclusively in emojis and have designated ringtones
  5. You have cried together…. often… sometimes laugh cries, sometimes ugly cries
  6. You have laughed until you almost (or did) pee your pants
  7. You talk about bra sizes and loving pillows (yes that was a private joke..)
  8. When something happens, whether good, bad, or ugly you think to text them immediately
  9. You are always planning what you will do together next (water aerobics anyone??)
  10. You do life together…. REAL life together. You LOVE one another wholly and delight in the imperfections

Friendship is a huge part of the surviving depression equation. Please allow others into your journey. You won’t regret it. Vulnerability is beautiful. Friendship is beautiful.

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.
