It’s a gray drizzly day here in Portland, Oregon, but I got a great gift from a friend.
Here’s a photo of the necklace on top of this journal so you can see what it really looks like:

It’s a new month and spring is on the way. It was light til almost 6 last night and today the sun is shining between the clouds.

One of the books I turn to when I’m depressed is Care of The Soul by Thomas Moore. It’s a bit challenging, but contains a lot of wisdom. One chapter is called the Gift of Depression, in which he talks about the way depressed moods help us mature and gain insight in our life. It’s a mood governed in astrology by the planet Saturn that helps us find noble truths to guide us. I don’t know how true that is, but it’s a good thought, and when I’m well, I can remember that seeking solitude and wrestling with demons can lead to creativity. Many creatives have depression or bi-polar disorders. I wonder sometimes, though, if the glory is worth the grief.
