Sunrain - you made me smile with your attitude and determination. I am glad that you kicking depression to the curb. I look forward to seeing your pinecone art. I love Pinecones!
Having this broken leg, prevents me from getting to my crafts and Christmas Decorations. So I will rely on you to help me feel the Christmas Spirit.

Good attitude. I need to get up off my butt and start painting my brothers Christmas gift.

That is such a cute idea to decorate pine cones, will they be ornaments for a tree? It would be pretty to decorate some walnuts too! I don't have a tree this year, my kitty would murder it. I'm pretty sure I would come home from work to find it tipped over and the ornaments everywhere. For something so small, she is sure talented in the art of making a huge mess.

Thank you guys so much! I needed to see your loving responses. I got two sections filmed and at first was thrown into a lame feeling when the silver spray paint I bought turned out to be a clear finish with light silver glitter. I felt like giving up though instead I just tried to sprinkle glitter over the wet clear paint and it stuck nicely and made blue, red and green glitter covered pine cones. I wanted to start out with silver paint and go from there. Though improvising and just making due I think I made it easier because with sprinkling glitter right over the paint eliminated the need for glue because I was going to let the silver paint dry first and then apply glue and glitter though it worked out nicely the glitter is deeper and brighter this way. I am going to decide what next to do. I bought little plastic rhinestones and stars and little colored balls to decorate them with.
I felt so bogged down when it was time to film though I just did it. I just was brave and did it. I think its not going to be half bad. I am finishing the filming today because I have to turn in equipment today. I almost did not get up and do this. Though as soon as i saw your responses I received a jolt of love and a bit of elation. Thank you so much!. xoxoxoxo

good for you telling depression that it is not going to beat you! i've always loved doing christmas crafts, just don't have the money this year for supplies.
hugs and puppy kisses

Sunrain,
I loved your description of feeling like a Mac Truck was sitting on you.
This past saturday it was cold and rainy and so many things I had planned to do got crushed by a mac truck. I just wanted to go to bed.
But I mustered up some courage and went shopping with my wife and then we made dinner together. It helped a little but deep inside all I wanted to do was cry myself to sleep.
I love your attitude.... Keep it up.

I agree that depression should be banned from existence! Sometimes it seems easier to step aside and let it pass than fighting it head on, esp when energy is low. I still like to fight it though :)

Thanks for your support guys I really really appreciate it. Yes it is very hard sometimes though if we try and pry ourselves up and at em. We always feel better. I have to return film equipment and will somehow share the pine cones very soon.

I admire the fight you have in you. Keep on going! :)
