I've tried to ignore the "should" of the Christmas season, but then I beat myself up because I didn't connect with people (no Christmas cards) or wrap beautiful presents or.....<br /><br />I'm glad to see you back and I, too, am trying to beat back my depression and as the seed and plant catalogs arrive I promise myself I will survive and plant a beautiful garden. Pray I don't let myself down.

I foolishly grew mine in home made compost which was far too rich and produced lots of top and tiddly roots. Another lesson learnt.<br />Thanks for sharing. xxDebbienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376693003192814341.post-1927927147877311492014-01-07T20:05:47.685+00:002014-01-07T20:05:47.685+00:00Winter is a tough time for anyone with mental issu...Winter is a tough time for anyone with mental issues. I wanted to stop taking my pills, but the doctor definitely said that winter is a bad time for that. I moved to a brighter room and I feel better... Pressure of forced social interactions during the holidays can also make things worse, plus the feeling that you HAVE to bake, HAVE to buy presents, HAVE to decorate the house... I believe you made your winter holiday the best it could be - the breakfast looks yummy and I hope the spring will bring you lots of sunshine and joy over the new seeds and seedlings brightening up your soil and soul :)Silly Little Sheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11871866600035558598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376693003192814341.post-67799691906513622352014-01-07T19:01:04.760+00:002014-01-07T19:01:04.760+00:00The holidays can be rough times.

But you got through them!!! That's something.<br /><br />I like your analogy of being a bulb in the ground, but must confess when you first said "bulb," I thought light bulb, but then got it:~) <br /><br />So, take it easy, rest in your warm soil, whatever it might be and then let the green pop up as the sun the earth:~)<br /><br />Loved the pictures. I still say you could easily get a job being a food photographer. It was great how you had the empty plate in the last frame. It made me chuckle.

Contagious too, we are having a few grey days with thunder and rain ... but Friday the sun will be out again, and our garden is revelling in rain. We had none at all thru December.<br /><br />I do wish you happiness in this new year!Diana Studerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286066768376135880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376693003192814341.post-21054128988226405662014-01-07T16:54:19.389+00:002014-01-07T16:54:19.389+00:00Couldn't you be a bear rather than a bulb?

As for Christmas we celebrate having got through to the other side with everyone on one piece as so often we have traumas at Christmas.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.com
