Using creativity to deal with my depression today

Posted 24 September 2015 – pm

So as promised I am posting the Zentangle attempt I did today to help deal with my depression.  It’s not exactly a great example of a Zentanle, but it kept my mind occupied for a few hours and definitely helped with the depression.  I am very tired now, because that kind of depression attack always wipes me out and leaves me totally drained, but at the same time, I’m not crying and feel a lot better than I did before I stared working on my drawing.

I decided that while I was here, I’d also share the progress with my orchids... the one has a bud fit to pop any day now and then we get to find out what colour it is... I’ll share when I know... I’m so excited about it!

Also a picture of some peas and fennel picked from my garden... we must have planted about only six pea seeds, so I’m really quite surprised at how many peas we got off of them... the plants are almost as tall as I am!  We’ve eaten as much as you see here and the plants are still producing fresh peas for us to pic and eat at our leisure.  The bed we planted the peas in was done to the “Door Garden” design.  My goodness me... it’s well worth preparing a vegetable patch in the correct way... everything we grow in those door garden beds, grow humongous and look so healthy!  We only have a tiny yard, but just two door garden beds are more than enough to keep my son and I going with a variety of different herbs and vegetables.

The last picture is proof that I have finally reached 100% on my computer’s FreeCell game.  I’ve been trying for years.  I play only one or two games a day.  The closest I ever got was 98% last year sometime... but this year, I finally reached my goal!  Now I can rest... hahaaa!  I was expecting fireworks or something when I reached 100%, but nothing... such a let-down.  But I can’t complain... I did it at last and just had to share my personal grand-achievement with you all!  J
