Too Blessed to be depressed



Cabin Fever...
I have noticed a lot of people suffer, including myself suffer from cabin fever in the winter. Precisely around Feb. when we have a week of being inside trapped by snow.
Now it is July and I am noticing the depression wave over people. However as people and patrons of this town and my world have chosen to hate and dwell on little things, I choose the high road. Hate will get you and I have been held back by something that I love and appreciate more than I will ever know.
I can not sit here and let life pass me by while I dwell on somethings that are so small compared to the world he has provided us.
I choose not to be here, dwelling. I have set goals for myself and where I am in life I have no REASON or excuse to not be depressed. God has provided me with numerous opportunities to share his love with everyone and anyone I can.
I am happy to say I will be at Camp For All twice this summer. Widening my love for ARC of GH and Camp Champions. This year will mark my two year anniversary of my tattoo on my wrist and I can not say it has ever let me down. As a reminder to myself that I am very VERY lucky in life to be just with PKU as people see it as a burden in my life I see it as an abler. I know a handful, well more, of Adults and teens and children now who all see having PKU differently but I have to embrace and know God made me beautiful in his eyes, for he has a path in which I will take.

With this I leave you with Addison Road lyrics: Always Love (as made famous by: Nada Surf)

To make a mountain of your life
Is just a choice
But I never learned enough
To listen to the voice that told me
Always love? Hate will get you every time
Always love? Don?t wait til the finish line

Slow demands come 'round
Squeeze the air and keep the rest out
It helps to write it down
Even when you then cross it out

But Always Love? Hate will get you every time
Always Love?Even when you wanna fight

Self-directed lives
I want to know what it?d be like to
Aim so high above
Any card that you've been dealt, you...

Always Love? Hate will get you every time
Always Love? Hate will get you?

I've been held back by something
Yeah. You said to me quietly on the stairs,
I've been held back by something
Yeah. You said to me quietly on the stairs.
You said?
Hey, you good ones.
Hey, you good ones.

To make a mountain of your life
Is just a choice
But I never learned enough
To listen to the voice that told me...
Always love?hate will get you every time
Always love?hate will get you?

I've been held back by something
Yeah, You said to me quietly on the stairs,
I've been held back by something
Yeah, You said to me quietly on the stairs
You said..
Hey, you good ones
Hey, you good ones
Hey, you good ones
