Humble and Kind

I have been reflecting on what leadership is . Our current political climate makes one wonder who to trust . I think those in positions of power should pass a litmus test . Although they are required to make decisions that are unpopular ;  their heart is in the right place .  Our country is in crisis . There is no place for political posturing . We deserve to follow an administration that makes the tough calls regardless of the masses . Our elders knew how to agree to disagree ! Now these humble servants stand back and watch America being torn to pieces . Kindness  is old fashioned , and darkness seems to rule the day . It is my humble opinion that this generation needs to take a cue from their elders ! Continuing to pray for America ,  Donna Watson

Blessings

There are no words to describe how blessed I have been in my life !  I am not afraid to proclaim it ! In spite of a mental illness ,  I am determined to soldier on .  There are those who have paid with their very lives . It is incumbent on us to live the remainder of our days in a state of Gratitude ! God Bless our country !

 

Easter Sunday

Joy !  Today is the day we proclaim freedom for the captives .  As the world spins around us , we maintain an unshakable cause .  Family ,  friends and even strangers ;  welcome the Good news ! Personally , I am so excited to be with my loved ones today .  I am a grandmother , and I can hardly wait to see my precious Jackson !  My gift to him is  musical .  Bongos .  Bless him and our family , and God help us all . 

 

Promises Kept

The world is in a world of hurt !  Due to a new med schedule I am up in the middle of the night.
The News is  horrific ,  and were  it not for my faith ,  I would despair !  This generation is being led astray by politicians crying peace when there is no peace .  When I view these developments ,  I am reminded that the change must begin with me . Humility , kindness and respect is where it's at ! These things are key to my journey .  Minute compared to those who serve , protect and defend ;  I must soldier on in my commitments .  Thank God for the freedom to do so ! 

On Overwhelm

My latest manic episode is finally abating . Sleep is welcome ;  since it is the first thing to go. I continue to be shocked at the help I have received . I welcome a return to the program I attend at College Hospital Santa Ana !  It is my fondest wish that those suffering with a Mental Illness will seek the help they so need ! With high regard , Donna

Music Heals the Weary Soul

The heart  is soothed by  music  .  I love many songs and I often play them in times of trouble .  One of my favorites is , "Rose Garden " .   It reminds me so much of my Mom .  She is a constant in my life .  Many songs resonate with me .  When I listen to them , I am reminded of the people who support me in my journey with Mental illness.  How does one count their many blessings ? My spirit is lifted even when hearing a song that I have listened to multiple times ! So for these things I am grateful beyond measure ! 💜🧡

Grief And Loss

 It is with a heavy heart that I write this post  .  For years I have grieved major losses in my life . I realize now that my mental illness has made it hard to let go . However ,  I still suffer the effects of love lost . Especially in regards to my two sons . Will I be brave enough to carry on ?  I Hope so .  Isn't that the whole point ?  Hope is the anchor of the soul .  So I will soldier on and keep the faith !  May God keep you in the Palm of his Hand .
