Out of sorts....

18 years ago

I'm feeling out of sorts and just needed to talk. I lost my

daughter Brenda 20 months ago and I so miss here. I stopped

my meds for depression about 2 months ago and I was doing

ok, but this week has me missing her and crying over any

thing that relates to her. I know I will be ok because I am

a strong person, but sometimes I just need a little help or

something. I came here last night also, I was feeling lonely

and blue. DH goes to bed at 10:00 pm and the house was so

quiet I couldn't stand it. I am a night person. I was so

happy last week because the weather was changing, I just

love spring and warm weather. Now this week its damp,windy,

and not nice enough to go out. And I feel down. But

it does help a little to come here. I will end post now.

Thank you for being here.

Gloria, I feel sure these ups and downs are very, very normal due to the heartbreaking loss you have experienced. I am sure you have thought carefully about going off the meds for depression. You seem a little lonely, so be sure you are doing things during the day that put you in touch with others like lunch or a movie with a friend, visit with a neighbor, take a class, etc. Take good care of yourself, do things you like to do.

Don't worry...spring will come, and you will feel better. It's a time of rebirth, and may your tender spirit be lifted by the beauty of new life.

LOL. weathered brass is very in right now. but i like it more so because it just works with the house. something like this, what i had on our last 2 houses seems too rugged for the house http://www.handlesets.com/weslock-7615-castletown-dummy-entry-handleset-from-the-molten-bronze-collection/p1600302?source=gg-gba-pla_1600302____37316350429&s_kwcid=PTC!pla!!!66473959309!g!!37316350429&gclid=CNm20-6m08ACFStk7AodUXAAZQ this is more formal, but looks too "new" http://www.handlesets.com/weslock-1444-lexington-1400-series-interconnected-handleset-interior-pack-sold-separately/p622661?source=gg-gba-pla_622661____37316350429&s_kwcid=PTC!pla!!!66490852909!g!!37316350429&gclid=CK2q19qn08ACFSbl7AodiyIAYA i'm sure i could find something that works, but it will probably be expensive and since i like the neglected one, i'd rather not spend the money on it. i can use the money towards a faucet etc.

Since its going to be a birdbath I would try to keep it as natural as possible for the birds sakes...How about a mix of mortar with peat moss mixed into it for texture?
