Funkalicious...

In fair warning, I will be baring a part of my sensitive soul tonight. I feel it must be done... read on, if you dare...

I have been in a funk lately... What has brought this funk on, I don't know.  But it's been hovering over and around me for a while now.  I've found myself withdrawn, moody, tired, and often sad.  And really, I have no reason to be feeling this way.  So what has my problem been?!  Is it the shorter days? The darkness is reason enough for gloominess... Is it the new prescription I've been put on that plays with my hormones (sorry if that's too much info for you tonight), causing my emotions to jump all over the place like a crazy woman?  I honestly wish I could blame it all on drugs, that makes life so much easier.  Perhaps it's the fact that I let myself be content to slowly drift away from daily spending time seeking God, causing me to fill that deep spiritual need with the flighty things of this world that offer no true joy.  Maybe it's a combination of all of the above.  Whatever it is, it's not been good.  I fear that I've hurt myself most of all, and a few others along the way with my withdrawn moodiness.  I've not been enjoying life, but instead moping.  What a bad attitude I've had.  To the friends out there that I may have unintentionally hurt by this needless funk, I apologize.  Know that you have done nothing for me to be cranky, moody, or withdrawn towards you.  It has all been my own doing.  But the good news is, that I've recognized the problem (isn't that the first step? I think there's 11 more) and I'm working on it.  I'm working on seeking the Joy of the Lord to be my strength.  I'm working on not letting my emotions get the best of me.  I'm working on having the desire and motivation to get out there an enjoy life again!  So please, don't give up on me. I need my friends now more than ever as I struggle to best this funk of a beast.  You're all beautiful and wonderful people... thanks for putting up with my funkalicious self...

P.S.  On a completely different note, more jewelry pictures coming... soon... I can't guarantee when exactly, just... soon...
