  I think I am coming out of my depression..... I am really feeling like I want to go and do things.... lately....   I am not tired anymore... I am feeling great now....   for the past year  I think I was  very depressed...  we all have our ups and downs  but I think this CKD   really  hit me hard....  maybe it still is.... but I am not dealing with it and I accept it.... I am glad that I am getting excited about doing things again....  even my family has noticed..
I think I see life differently now.....   I am spending time thinking about all the things I havnt dont and want to ... and I am starting to do some of them.....  This weekend  I am going to the NW Fly Tying event here in ORegon.....  well its not for everyone but I want to learn to tye flies.. so I am going....  I want to learn to make lace by hand....  thats a lost art....   I saw honey bees today.....and well  I know it spring now...  which makes me smile....and that is what is important in life......  I want to smile everyday.....

I have walked those dark halls, and found some light. I'm glad you are getting there.  :thumbup;

Planning any camping trips? Or travel. Come to TN! We'll have a devil of a revel!
