Journal WannaBeGeekGirl's Journal: uneasy days 2
My dear old poetic cousin Robert Frost has a quote that I keep on the bathroom mirror: "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on." This assures that I have to read his advice upon starting my day and ending it.
The world seems dim these days even with the lifting of my depression. That is to say that I can again see colors, but they are not shades that please me. Though a lot of my heroes and friends tell me that comes with age, I'm not content to believe--deep within parts of my mind I will always be young. That and I have a memory loss disease so my take on the world before is evanescing rapidly.
It has been such a long week, I can't tell you the day because I have so few hours of sleep. I do hope Sarah can sing me to sleep finally:
Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind
Take me to a
Place so holy
That I can wash this from my mind
The memory of choosing not to fight

That is one of my favorites of hers. I had not listened to it in a while; thank you for reminding me. I have a very nice version from her Afterglow Live disc.
I am glad to hear that the depression is lifting. It so often makes it so hard to do anything, or even think anything positive.
About things taking on a different shade, I think that it is something that tends to happen with age. But it is very important to also cultivate the viewpoint of a child - whatever has happened, it remains a good thing to v
