</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The last 3 months have been something out of the ordinary for me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Deep, Deep, REALLY DEEP DEPRESSION.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Why? You ask...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So many reasons that I can think of and even more that I haven't begun to discover yet.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What I have come to realize is how we, as humans, don't like being confronted with others dark sides.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The fear, anger, sadness, anger, quiet, anger...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Did I forget to mention the anger?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And then, if you are the person going through this dark valley, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">you start to feel guilty that you are feeling what you are feeling... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Which makes you feel even worse!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Does that make any sense at all?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is the place I have been in.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Dark, dark, d.a.r.k.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My family didn't know what to do with me...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">so, I think the tried to ignore that it was happening.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For me, this just added to my feelings of loneliness and self hatred.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It really wasn't until 2 members of my family, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">who live far away (from me and each other), </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">acknowledged what was going on with me </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and gave me advice and a </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">chance to "talk it out" that I started to feel better.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sometimes when we know someone is feeling down, we avoid them. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Or we avoid talking to them about what they are going through.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am soooo guilty of this.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We don't want them to bring us down.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Or...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We don't really want know what lives beneath the surface.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQFEZVgiF2TFIHR9nZGVgTHDHwVqZ3bhY83DkGNslTzcySyw9toSa2g45e1hWHDpne03J7kqOZEWS3kX01hmfEHBEvJktrkLP7GG3zUAgaIWyGZ7hxylhewq8oxp03CA4FoatdKGyJeFKE/s1600/brysen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" nx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQFEZVgiF2TFIHR9nZGVgTHDHwVqZ3bhY83DkGNslTzcySyw9toSa2g45e1hWHDpne03J7kqOZEWS3kX01hmfEHBEvJktrkLP7GG3zUAgaIWyGZ7hxylhewq8oxp03CA4FoatdKGyJeFKE/s400/brysen.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the person facing those dark days,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> it feels like you just jumped off a cliff</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> and you know the landing is going to be rough... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">really rough </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and yet you are falling, falling, falling...</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Knowing the landing is coming...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But it hasn't hit yet...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And it's coming...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You're anticipating it...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Where is it...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">When will this end...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Why won't this just END!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And Yet, the falling continues.</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">(although my husband may not see that as a good thing... lol... He does tend to be at the butt of the joke more times than not.)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sitting here this morning, writing about this dark place, it would be easy to sweep it under the rug and act like it never happened.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Infact, that is what I would normally do.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I don't like to share those kinds of things with people.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I don't like to show my vulnerable side.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It did happen, though.</div><div style="text-align: center;">It did.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thankfully, when I felt at my lowest, I knew that God was with me.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I didn't have anyone else I could scream and yell at...</div><div style="text-align: center;">But he allowed me that liberty.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Just as David cried out to God asking WHY?</div><div style="text-align: center;">I did the same.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yes, I felt guilty for what I saw as my lapse in faith...</div><div style="text-align: center;">but now I can see that my loving Heavenly Father was with me the whole time.</div><div style="text-align: center;">He never let me out of his sight.</div><div style="text-align: center;">He stood beside my while I cried and held me in his arms to comfort me.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><em> I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me. Psalm 77:1</em></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. </em></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>Psalm 107:6</em></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">How blessed we are when we have that friend that never leaves us.</div><div style="text-align: center;">No matter how dark the place is where we are.</div><div style="text-align: center;">No matter how low we think we are...</div><div style="text-align: center;">He is with us...</div><div style="text-align: center;">waiting for us to call out to Him.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I honestly don't know and I am so tired this morning that I am not going to go look...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Some pretty severe storms came through last night and Momma was up making sure all was safe.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This morning, things are beautiful.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Although I did find visiting Raider in the basement and a broken window where he had managed to get in... again.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He just wasn't meant to be an outside dog.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We spoiled him.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He needs Uncle to come back from his trip and take him back to his warm house in Arkansas.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">now that I have rambled a bit...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Enjoy the pictures and have a great day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am really tired this morning. Hopefully I wake up soon.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I plan to make this day great. </div><div style="text-align: center;">It's my choice, right?!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I had a great chat with my second oldest last night.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love when we really share from our hearts.</div><div style="text-align: center;">She is an amazing young lady...</div><div style="text-align: center;">just coming into her own.</div><div style="text-align: center;">She is just starting to figure our who she is.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love it!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood, </div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And sorry I could not travel both </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And be one traveler, long I stood </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And looked down one as far as I could </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">To where it bent in the undergrowth; </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then took the other, as just as fair, </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And having perhaps the better claim, </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Because it was grassy and wanted wear; </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Though as for that the passing there </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Had worn them really about the same, </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And both that morning equally lay </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">In leaves no step had trodden black. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh, I kept the first for another day! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yet knowing how way leads on to way, </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I doubted if I should ever come back. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I shall be telling this with a sigh </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Somewhere ages and ages hence: </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I took the one less traveled by, </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And that has made all the difference. </div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We are in the process of building on a new front deck. There was a teeny tiny little cement step (two steps really) that you couldn't even stand on while opening the door...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hmmmmm.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Weird.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyway, we finally got tired of knocking people off the step and started building a deck. Eventually the deck will wrap around the house, but for now it will just be a large section of the front.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Why am I telling you this?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well, because this means that there are planers and saws and drills and such taking up space all over the front of the house.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Really ugly?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Yes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Necessary?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For now, yes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This has brought a few new ideas to the kids, however.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Kids imaginations are always at work.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">They managed to convince Grandpa to let them "use" a sawhorse.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">They "borrowed" a long board.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now, they are trying to figure out how to make this a permanent feature...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When Daddy has time to make this new project a little safer...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Permanent it will be!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The first thing I heard yesterday morning...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"I got my armadillo."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This was said with just joyous abandon!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He was thrilled...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">over the moon really.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He had shot one before...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and then we had one that was completely destroying our property.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Holes everywhere.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Their holes are really common for breaking people and animal legs...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyway, when the kids started tripping in the holes Mark got real serious about trying to find this thing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He only seems to come out at night...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">which limited Mark in his "hunting" time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But Tuesday night...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He wanted you all to know.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He really did...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He is the proud hunter.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He also wanted everyone to know that it only took one shot...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">( the last time was 3... remember?"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I reminded him that that means 2 armadillo...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">4 shots.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
