Journal Entry for March 3, 2008 Mood

Monday, March 3, 2008

Hi all,

The proposal went great this weekend. She was totally surprised, she cried, i cried I think her dad even had tears in his eyes. I am so happy for her, he proposed on the riverwalk in downtown OKC Saturday and the weather was great, a little windy but he got down on one knee when we walked up to them and she turned to give me a hug and then when she turned back around he was on one knee and asked her to marry him. It was really sweet and we got it on video. They have decided to be engaged for a year so I don't have to completely freak out yet about the cost, hopefully I can get some of my cc's paid down by then. Oh Danya we are going to look at the wedding chapel you told me about so I am excited to see it. Still not doing to great emotionally, feeling pretty overwelmed and stressed. I hate feeling this way when I should be so happy with all the wonderful things the lord has given my family but I am having a hard time shaking this depression. Hugs to all

Oh how sweet! It sounds so lovely! I'm so happy for your family. It sounds as if you are so blessed. Give the depression some time. This weather isn't helping matters any. Things will look so much brighter when spring gets here. Hang in there sweetie! Peace and Love. Patty

Oh my gosh, the waterworks would have been running down into the canal if it had been me there! What a beautiful picture I am getting just from your description. I am glad you are going to look at the Chapel. When we first went and looked at it, from the outside, I thought, eh, no big deal, but when we got inside and did the full tour, it was just so beautiful. we had them do the ceremony, the cake, the paper products, the champagne fountain, the kids even hired a DJ for the reception. It was really a huge bang for little bucks, in comparison to what it could have cost, and being able to pay it out, really helped.

take care,

hugs and love
Danya

Depression.......What you've been feeling is common to many, after a bit of recovery...don't worry about it....it'll pass in time. For me, and as others have explained it to me it's like this. We gambled, this allowed us to "stuff down" our natural emotions, to avoid them. When we stop, these emotions come once again to the surface. We're not used to dealing with them, so our sub-concious depresses them, as a defence. Hence, the "depression". As we grow and heal and learn new coping mechanisms we learn how to feel these emotions, name them, deal with them, let them go, and move forward.They're only feelings, after all. You're doing the right thing....talking about the feelings....this allows them into the light, where you can and will learn to accept and live with them like a healthy person does. You just keep on doing what you're doing....it's gonna be ok. The danger arises when we keep secrets, live in denial of how things really are with us, hide, and avoid. In AA they got a saying-"You're only as sick as your secrets" Hugs to you
