Conjure my thoughts no more for your wicked desire, Let me rest in the bosom of peace, Forget my memories and forsake me, Do not cherish the tragedy that has filled my life, Nothing may justify your presence, Unwelcome being disregard my plea for company, Dwindle not in the forlorn recesses of my minds eye,…

Summer Fun
Just got of art class feeling refreshed. I painted a simple still life today. A pair of my teacher’s sunglasses. I used 4 colors and 1 brush. Yellow Ocher, Rose Mader, and two green’s that I really can’t remember the name of I’m embarrassed to say. I’ll update this post next week with the colors….
Notes To Myself
I found a new tool that so far has helped me get through this weekend’s bought of depression. I took a stack of post-it notes and wrote compliments & positive I am statements about myself and stuck them on the doorways, windows, mirrors, and fridge of my apartment. I hung them at eye level so…
Recovery Story

Building A Dungeon
I have a higher respect for game designers now that I have designed my own campaign in the ‘Dungeon Master’ (DM) option of the game ‘Sword Coast Legends’ a Dungeons & Dragons game for PC. The game is designed to let someone build their own ‘Non-Playable-Characters’ (NPC), monsters, bosses, hero’s, dungeons, towns, quests, and different…
Pulling Myself Out Of A Slump
Up until Monday I felt really blue. My depression raged and put me into a deep slump. I felt pain for past events, fear for current events, and anger at different situations. I can pin point each thought that brought my mood down. Even though I am aware that past events can’t be changed and…
I Created Something Beautiful
Today I worked up the motivation to go to art class and create a wonderful piece of art.
A Hike Through Northern Vermont
Once in a while I enjoy getting out onto the trail and going for an adventure. This is a photographic journal of one of them. When I go for a hike I always receive a rush emotion, a sense that I am small, and nostalgia for my childhood. I remember growing up in the mountains…
