Countryside bliss

When driving through our gorgeous and diverse landscape I particularly love seeing the animals. On this particular drive it was mainly cattle and sheep, but even in the simplicity I saw the pure beauty of calves and lambs feeding from their mothers and all the world's atrocities seemed to melt away...
Although growing up on a farm I am no stranger to the way animals feed, but when I'm a complete outsider looking in at them, I feel warmed by sharing their moment.
I love seeing the change in nature from town to town and state to state. 
I love driving through the trees as they arch high over the road and meet in the middle, it always reminds me of being apart of something special.  It makes driving through the bland boring areas worthwhile.

Good day today. Thank God for beautiful friends.

It's wonderfully overwhelming to be reminded of friend's love and acceptance of me-even without brushed teeth ;)  Today i attended all hygiene (thanks all those who expressed concern).
 Some days are much easier than others so much that I forget I'd even "have" depression (minus my meds in the morning) yeh, it felt like a long time before I was even compliant with taking them, but it's been years now and I rarely forget.  I don't believe simply taking medication and that's all that needs to be done as it's only a band aid. I believe these types of medication are of greater benefit when coupled with Counselling/Cognitive Behaviour Therapy which also included for me, self-help books and being Mentored by an A-mazing woman I used to attend church with.

I suppose what I long for is to be heard and understood.  At times i feel so misunderstood and judged for it.
