Soulshine defeats Depression

 

 

Let your Soul Shine

written by: Lisa Morgan

Depression happens to the best of us. Most of us refer to it as the blues & some among us have made a living writing blues tunes & singing them successfully. Others among us have a beer, a glass of wine & sing the blues ...badly...sing the blues very badly. It's the thought that counts! The blues will come & go through out a lifetime, as it should. We can not appreciate the the good time, joy, bliss, happiness, the laughter without experiencing the lows, blues, pain & tear that will fall down our cheeks. 

Attitude adjustments are life's way of forming character & molding us into shape. ~

Roll with the punches or get the hell out of the way. Seriously move out of the way before the punches hit you or you need to get out of the way. Alas we are all human thus none of us are perfect in any way. We fail, we fall, we get back up. Get back up! My mother always says, "Learn from the mistakes of others; you can't live long enough to make them all yourself." Some people may not have gotten that Mama Memo, so I'm posting it for you now.

Depression Kills & Soulshine Heals

It's those time when we do not snap out of the blues that darkness overtakes us. Depression is an extremely dark, lonely place to dwell. No one wants to reside in darkness. It's a cold, bitter place where time stands still. Depression can be squelched. Soulshine is the cure for common depression.  There is always someone who has is having a worse day than you or has been dealt a hand possibly without a hand or two good feet. We mourn the dead. We end a relationship. We learn to love again, to live again, to breathe again. It is the dark that makes us crave the light. Depression kills & Soulshine heals. Choose wisely my friends.

I look around me at God's creations & I see wonder that abounds. I view people whose lives are much harder than anything I might search to complain about. I can walk, so I can make a conscience decision to walk in light. God's light has been a constant saving grace in my life. Jesus' sacrifice was a selfless act, that humbles me. Being meek is not being timid, it is being humble. There is always someone who will appreciate a smile or desperately need someone to smile their way. I choose to smile until my soul shines to light my pathway from darkness into a light filled space.

 Believe - Achieve - Receive- Give - Live

When there is only darkness, let your light shine through to pierce the darkness; others will see your light & mirror it bringing more light. Sometimes being the first to let your light shine, you'll bring light to others. Light will always overcome darkness. Depression is ceased by doing something for some less fortunate than yourself. Depression feeds off of self & is starved by selflessness. Soulshine will defeat the darkness of depression when your selfless acts bring joy to others, your soul will shine with bliss. Light your candle & let it be a beacon for others who are in darkness. Soulshine kicks depression in the butt saying "Snap out of it! Life is good!" Soulshine it's the cure for depression. Remember you are blessed so be a blessing to others.

April Rain brings forth Spring:The rebirth of the earth

 April rain brings forth Spring: The rebirth of the earth
 written by Lisa Morgan

The rain finally stopped on Easter Sunday afternoon. The sun peeked from behind the grey clouds as the sky was teasing me with a hint of blue skies. The trees seemed to have diamond earrings dangling from the branches but alas it was simple raindrops clinging to the branches reminding me of diamond earrings hung from the earlobes of a young lady, as she prepares for a suitor. Isn't funny how life in it's simplicity can give us such beauty if we are willing to open our eyes to view it.

I prefer my eggs au naturel  versus being dyed with color on Easter, that is not to say that for decades I didn't color eggs like most people do prior to celebrating the appearance of the elusive Easter bunny. Nowadays I'm more into reflecting on Easter, just not as a day of chocolate bunnies, multi colored eggs dyed with chemicals sitting in plastic baskets made in China; but as a day of thankfulness that Christ resurrected. I'll take my eggs farm fresh with some roses with the dew or raindrops glistening off of them. 

April rains bring forth the spring temperatures along with re-growth of vegetation. Spring flowers love the new rain. It's a cleansing so to speak for the earth or a rebirth after a frigid, dark winter. We could all use a good cleansing. Starting fresh with a new attitude. I hope everyone had a blessed Easter or Resurrection Day. John 3:16 comes to my mind: For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whomsoever believes upon him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus is what we should celebrate, not dyed eggs or Easter, which by the way if you Google Easter; you find it is a pagan goddess named Ishtar. The Christian Bible warns against Ishtar & following pagan gods. Just an FYI about how American holidays have gotten us off track from God's holy word. I prefer to believe God's word & not celebrate Easter but celebrate Jesus's sacrifice for all sins. Our belief in Christ Jesus is liken to a rebirth after a cold, dark time of darkness & being lost in the world. May your week be filled with the beauty & bounty of the earth. God bless those who choose to follow the word of God, the God of Abraham, Issac & Jacob (the Hebrews). God bless America!
