Thoughts and images

The non-profit farm I work for will be adding different hippo-therapies for children, veterans and families.
I feel blessed to be able to witness these kind of things.

I know I’ve had times in my life when I had:
low self esteem
lack of confidence
teetering on a thin line of depression

I relate the feeling to “trying really hard to keep my head above water”.
Interesting enough I did have a phobia to being in water over my head.
Two years after being married my husband and I took the steps to “making a family”. We did have some challenges, as I had to deal with some infertility.
Yet I always had hope.
With the thought of children, I decided I didn’t want to be afraid of the water any more and took adult swimming lessons. I became comfortable swimming.

I still think of depression in a way of “reaching to keep one’s head above the water”.

Here’s an image I did.

Looking back I also think it is rather fitting that I am working at a therapeutic riding horse farm.
I haven’t had the pleasure of having horses  all throughout my life.
Yet there have been times when I have been around horses and felt it’s benefited me immensely.
Building confidence
Building self-esteem
climbing out of those deep blues-border line depression

I feel a sense of connection-grounded-ness- real-honest.

Here’s an image to share.
