Happy Halloween

When Supergirl shows up at work.

 

 

 

And when Supergirl can't make it work.

 

To Those Who Have Battled

Thank you for being such wonderful and courageous examples in my life.

Pu'u O Hulu Pillbox Hike

Buddy Check 22

Every day, an average of twenty-two veterans and active duty service members take their own lives.

That is twenty-two too many.

While we should do this daily, I encourage you on the 22nd of every month to call and check your battle buddy. Military or not, we deserve to see each other tomorrow.

I have had my good days, okay days, and bad days. I have had medication changes that threw me for a loop. I have locked myself away hoping that things would no longer be. There were times in which I had plans; times I was afraid I would carry out my plans.

But everyday, when I wake up, I try to make a conscious decision to do something that makes that day worth it. Today I enjoyed the beauty of where I live and hiked a pillbox.

My Skeletons

The things that have caused me the most hurt and have led me to shut out those that I care about and who care about me I call 'my skeletons'. It is these skeletons in my closet that I am terrified someone will discover and see who I really am. If someone were to truly see me, my true weaknesses and vulnerabilities or learn of the decisions that I have made, could I still not be judged? Could I still be loved?

 

I know everyone will say "yes, of course you will still be loved." But after everything I have seen and done, I do not easily trust words. I have learned to trust actions.

Up Early to Catch the Sunrise

 I always knew I was an angel, but my halo this morning proves it!
