A Good One of Those Days

It is amazing how sometimes depression can set in and stay with you. And then as fast as it set in, it disappears. I would hate for it to linger for days and days with no relief. I feel sorry for those who have been clinically diagnosed with it. For me, when it does hit, it usually chooses to visit fleetingly and for only a day or two. I'm not sure what brings it on. Something on the bad side happening, a rainy day or many, or a "chemical imbalance". Who knows. I just know I hate it and I rejoice when it goes away. My brain needs a welcome mat that says, "Go Away." There is usually a lot of prayers to God to just be there while I pout. But things are good now. While the stresses of life will always be here, they are ever changing. Plus, there is always tomorrow. Well, a few days ago it became tomorrow and everything, while not perfect, is fine within my soul.

I spent the afternoon and evening working on my blog. While I did love the look that I had, I felt the dark color was depressing. So I picked something I believed to be a little more uplifting. I hope you agree. I still may try and tweak it a little more, or I may change it all together. I just hope visitors will approve.

Yesterday I got the idea for a new book. I wrote almost one thousand words. Pretty impressive for a day's work. My youngest daughter, she is eight, even contributed with coming up with character names. She is pretty good. I've already decided to use some of them. But this is not good for the second book of Chasing Dragons. I should really concentrate on it first. But what do you do when new characters pound at your door. You write so they will be quiet.

So know when you have a bad day, there is tomorrow. There is always tomorrow and there are always your friends to listen to you, and there is always God to help you through. You may not always believe He is there, but I think if you do and give him a prayer, you will find you don't feel so alone during these times.

My book is doing only so, so. I also spent some time trying to figure out how to get people to notice it more. Still not sure how to do that. I am ready to get out of the KDP select so I can rejoin B&N. Who knows, I may go back and retry the KDP select later.
