"When we had our children, our ideas changed somewhat. Thenceforward we lived only for them; they made all our happiness and we would never have found it save in them. In fact, nothing any longer cost us anything; the world was no longer a burden to us. As for me, my children were my great compensation, so that I wished to have many in order to bring them up for Heaven" -- Saint Zelie Martin, mother of St. Therese of Lisieux, canonized October 18, 2015 along with her husband St. Louis Martin.

laughter

I realized that the titles of my posts have been a little dour.  It made me laugh at myself.  I'm going to admit right now that taking on a challenge of 31 days of posting on post-partum depression might not have been the greatest idea considering that I'm just getting a new blog up and running.  The truth is, this one is my second.  I got rid of my first blog during a time of depression after my 6th.  It seems fitting to write, then, about the thing that prevented me from writing in the past.  I'm looking forward to moving on to other types of posts, and I might just throw some out there from time to time, but for now, I do believe that there is so much to address on the subject of PPD that it's worth my time to keep posting what comes to me for the next few weeks.  If this is not your struggle, or if my take on PPD does not resonate with your experience of it, just visit my blog again after about 25 more days!:)
