- I realized not too long ago that I was in need of a little bit of a break. A timeout, a vacation, a sabbatical. I made a post about it and had a rather interesting response that made me aware of a few things and how often we may not be aware of some of the harm we do
Our pastor is going on sabbatical mid July and it’s a lot of stress just for him to prepare for that! Important to recharge to fight the battle rather than crash and burn in the midst of it! Thanks for the video.
Great Video. 😃👍♥️
Mental health is hugely neglected in this country, but I think a big part of the reason for that is that there is still such a stigma attached to it. We recently had a young wife who was only 23 and had only been married about 18 months commit suicide. The family has never confirmed this, but those who know the family has confirmed that was her cause of death. There is still such a stigma attached to depression and the way it kills, that people are still scared or ashamed to say that their loved one suffered from this horrible illness. And I had a friend today tell me that her father made fun of her as she suffered from anxiety and depression.
I’d love to get away for a few days, but I don’t see it happening. I have to sleep in a recliner due to my asthma and laying in a bed kills my back. It doesn’t help any that I have mobility issues, so I’m like a beached whale in bed. And I’m not about to head out someplace my husband doesn’t know the way to. I’ve always done the navigating, and I’ve lost vision, so I can’t do that anymore. Even with Siri giving him turn by turn directions, he can still get lost. And I can’t see to get us unlost. We used to go to the Outer Banks every year between Christmas and New Year’s, and after the fifth year, I figured he shouldn’t need my help. Boy, was I wrong! Our son and I are still trying to figure out all these years later, how he got us on a military base! We were supposed to go this past April, but my vision deteriorated so much that I canceled it. A friend was going to let us stay at her house. Oh well.
