Serenity is a funny thing or maybe I should say happiness is. I always thought if the kids would behave, if the bills would be paid, if my house was just so, the job, etc, etc. Even if that were all true, it still is dependent on my perception. My perception is my reality. So if I want my reality to change, I'll just tweek the antenna and change my reception altering my perception and thus reality change wa la. If only it were that easy! But you get the idea. My serenity needs to be based on my spirituality and my Creator. My Depression Journal is so depressing anymore, even when I'm a bit depressed. That fact is, hope has grown much stronger making it more difficult to concentrate so much on my depression. It makes me smile. I still have alot of bad habits to overcome thanks to depression including procrastination, the worst! Good thing my walk with my Creator gets me through alot. After all he sent me so many nice people! Got to love that.

So Happy Fourth of July! I hope everyone is relaxing and having a good time! I know one of my sisters is, she posted on Face Book, enjoying a pool party, sigh. We all should be so relaxed as Myrtle here.
Myrtle is my newest attempt at collage. Amazing what you can do with some magazine pics. Not sure what I'll do with her, however, I learned I need lots more practice. Ethel had a hayday, pointing everything out that was wrong. Wish she'd take a vacation. I do have to give her some credit as some of what she had to say was valid. I just wish she knew when to stop. Well back to digging through my scraps.
