I didn’t see this on my walk but watching it on @fatpompoms was so satisfying. I crochet, I over buy yarn, it happens. I create ginormous balls….

And with this ball I made this…..

I think the next ball will be a pompom.
Writing my way from darkness back into light

I didn’t see this on my walk but watching it on @fatpompoms was so satisfying. I crochet, I over buy yarn, it happens. I create ginormous balls….

And with this ball I made this…..

I think the next ball will be a pompom.

I look at puddle reflections and my mind sees a portal to another reality. I used to create elaborate world to escape to. I could lose myself for hours. Now, I look at the portals and see the refection of where I am and I’m grateful I’m not seeking an escape. Progress?

The color attracted me. Its like purple with a green undertone. Then I realized it represented how insidious depression can be. I broke a long time ago and I’ve been putting the pieces back together wanting to be whole and then a hidden root wiggles it way though a crack to remind me I’m not. The positive take-away from this image is just a little concerted effort and the little tendril of doubt/sadness/darkness can be yanked out and the crack repaired. All it takes is constant vigilance.

you just have to keep looking.
This is something I learned about at the beginning of the year. It’s called a Glimmer…
A glimmer is the opposite of a trigger. Glimmers are those moments in your day that make you feel joy, happiness, peace or gratitude. Once you train your brain to be on the lookout for glimmers, those tiny moments will appear more and more.
So, I’m going to try and post my daily glimmers which I normally find on my morning walks. Some make me smile, some remind me of truisms I often forget when I’m busy trying. Stay tuned.
