Blessed {Giveaway}

·

I am blessed. I have been having a hard time lately guys, like really hard. Friday was a low day for me, I spent it shopping with my girls just so I could avoid my dark cloud, and Friday night I got some answers. I have SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). Basically it is seasonal depression, and being here in rainy (gloomy) Portland Oregon doesn’t help things. I need to do 3.5 hours per day of light therapy, and after doing it for a couple days let me tell you…it helps! I am so happy to not be feeling so gloomy and sad. I also have the stomach bug that has been going around, it feels not so awesome to be sick, but good to have answers. 


Despite the sickness and SAD-ness I have been feeling I realized this weekend how blessed I really am. On Saturday our neighbors gave us a brand new highchair, seriously barely been used. He runs a junk pickup service and he comes across awesome stuff all the time. I was nervous to lift the pad, but when I did there was not even food under it, I am so excited that my girl gets a new highchair! We went grocery shopping and found everything we needed on sale for at least 50% off, sweet. My girls were angel babies this weekend and my husband was just his usual rockstar self, but I was really happy and it’s been awhile. 

I am also blessed with amazing family and friends, especially all my bloggy buddies and today I have one of my favorites Katie she blogs over at Some Eloquent Grafitti and she recently started a blog design site called Scrapcake Designs. I love her designs, and she designed 2 of my favorite bloggers sites, so pretty cool in my book oh and she is super gorgeous.

  4. So glad you found some answers as to why you were feeling so down. I feel like I experience a bit of seasonal depression every winter. One can only take sitting inside all day while its grey and dark and gloomy and cold outside every single day for so long!
    I think you are terrific, and wonderful, and I value our new friendship so much! xoxo
