Wow... Really??? :o\

Okay, here we go again! Me... revamping my blog... for the THIRD time... but hey third time IS supposed to be charmed! Right? Well, anyway, the reason for this revamp is that finally... after 18 years of thinking I was just reeeeeeally depressed. I actually find out that I have a "Mood Disorder"! I have a chemical imbalance called Bipolar 2!  www.healthline.com/search?q1=Bipolar+II+disorder
   I have been seeing a therapist and am finally on the right path to wellness in my life! I wanted to share this with you... my friends... because a few years ago my dear cousin David died of an (I am going to say accidental, sorry if I'm wrong) drug overdose. He was I believe self medicating with whatever he could because he didn't know or realize that there was help for him!
   I miss him dearly and especially NOW that I know he probably had the same things wrong in him as I do. Not only could he have been helped but  I truly believe he could have been saved! I can't do anything to help David now, but, I can help others like him... and me.
   And THAT is the purpose of my new blog! It is going to be revealing about me things I am still not quite sure I want to be sharing, but if it helps even just ONE precious person then I will be happy!
Thanks for reading and I hope I haven't rambled too too much! :o)

MY Many Colored Days.....

Have you ever had one of those days where you just couldn't decide HOW you felt??? I've always enjoyed this book on days like those!
My Many Colored Days is a children's book written by Dr. Seuss. It features paintings by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher. A rhyming story, it describes each day in terms of a particular color which is in turn associated with a specific emotions. This has been my favorite book BY FAR ever since I worked in Daycare. It is just such a fun story, IF you know how to read it properly.
I will share it with you if you'd like.
It is also the book that gave me the idea for the title of my blog!


  My Many Colored Days
By Dr. Seuss
Some days are yellow. Some are blue.
On different days I'm different too.

You'd be surprised how many ways
I change on different colored days.

On BRIGHT RED DAYS
How good it feels to be a horse and kick my heels!

On other days I'm other things.
On BRIGHT BLUE DAYS I flap my wings.

Some days of course, feel sort of BROWN.
Then I feel slow and low,
                                      low
                                            down. 

Then comes a YELLOW DAY.
And WHEEEEEEEEEEEE, I'm a busy buzzy bee.

Gray day... Everything is gray. I watch.
But nothing moves today.

Then all of a sudden I'm a circus seal!
On my ORANGE DAYS that's how I feel.

Green days. Deep deep in the sea.
A cool and quiet fish. That's me.

On Purple Days
I'm sad. I groan.
I drag my tail.
I walk alone.

But when my days are HAPPY
PINK
It's great to JUMP and just not think.

Then come my BLACK days.
MAD. And LOUD.
I howl. I growl at every cloud.

Then comes a Mixed-Up Day.
And WHAM!
I don't know WHO or WHAT I am!

But it all turns out all right, you see.
And I go back to being... Me. :o)


This poem could be kinda my theme song. Especially now that I have been diagnosed with a Mood Disorder maybe that is why I love it sooooo much!!!
