I love laughing... children... photography... writing bad poetry and probably blogs... collecting people for a lifetime... and their stories... dancing... playing cards. I love words; they're delicious! I love lying in my hammock in my backyard and watching traffic from the swing on my front porch. I love that Christ so totally loves me.

    Mental Illness is one of the moat challenging illness anyone has ever coped with.I don;t know if autism is classed as an illness,but according to CNN it is now epidemic.One out of 88 military family’s now has an autistic child. There is a wide range of mental illness,from those who can cope,to those who can cope on medication, to those who medication just doesn’t work. It is real.

  3. Thank you very much for the reblog; it’s fantastic to see so many people sharing such an important message.

    Amen to that, Sister!!! I’ve heard “just snap out of it” before and it is so hard to take. People just don’t seem to want to understand or treat it as anything that is real. Just because there aren’t physical, outward signs of an illness, does not mean it is not a real illness!!!!
