More on recycling...
Here's a website that makes learning about recycling fun, earn points, get some free stuff, and other perks. I like it for passing time and learning, instead of some empty FB game. I have to admit that my trash can has a lot less in it.

It Will Always Get Better, I Swear.
I've been bedridden except for therapy trips and doctors appointments for over a month now. I'm not 100%, but I'm fighting to be. I spoke with my boss today and someone I worked with closely had taken his own life whilst I've been out on disability.
I know things can get closed in on you. I've experienced that feeling of the world folding in on you. You have to grab a rope, a life preserver.It's not something that you should figure out when the shit hits the fan. My advice is to figure it out in case of emergency. Put it away for a rainy day. You never know what life will hand you. We plan for so much, but figuring out an emotional exit strategy is something I never hear talked about, until it's almost defcon 4.
I write. I make things if I have the energy. I love my dogs. I look for ways to get better, or do exercises that physically will improve my condition. I'm learning to ask for help. I'm learning to not stress out over things I cannot control. Sure I get angry, sure I implode/ explode, and sure I despair. That's when when my pre-planned exit strategy comes in, rather than checking out. There's a great Tedx Talk that I saw that totally had a hand to forehead, light bulb moment for me when I was in a lonely, dark place. There's more to the premise of adding time to your life, as the topic states, so I recommend watching this episode in it's entirety.

Like I said. It will always get better, maybe not the same, but it will get better. I swear.
XOXO

Interested in trying out Art Journaling?
Interested in trying out Art Journaling? For me, it's pure therapy. It helps me add more expression behind my words, like music behind lyrics. Whether it be color, fabric, paper art, paint texture, or another medium to put behind my writing, I really love to watch it form. Sometimes it's just as much as actually creating the journal and making the entries the guts of the book. Kristal Norton is offering a great intro class FOR FREE. Check it out here:
I'll dig out some of my old books and post some pics. Right now I'm just throwing some entries into my favorite stand by, the old composition book from the dollar store, for the Brave Girls Club one minute, one paragraph series.
Happy Creating!
XOXO

P.S. I had to add a picture I came across of Peter Steele's missing infamous journal/ song book.
