![]() ![]() ![]() I have chronic bronchitis and only get a few days of relief in between starting treatment for it again. The Rheumatoid Disease has progressed quickly and most of my joints are affected with my knees being the worst, so walking is always painful now. I also have specialist now for each of my illnesses, unfortunately none of my disease are curable or even have simple treatments. I now have a therapist that I will be seeing to help talk things out, I am very happy to finally have someone who I can truly vent all of my feelings and fears as I haven’t wanted to share those things with my family. He never left me but I had forgotten to just give him my pain and tears. I finally started reading my bible again, listening to my favorite music and I allowed myself to feel Jesus again. I tried to put on this happy face, when inside I was just feeling so alone and broken. I was so focused on what was coming in my future, that I forgot to just be happy for today. My depression just fed off of this and got worse. I kept so much buried inside and that is never a good thing for anyone to do, it just allows one to be swallowed by darkness. I began to feel as though I was being punished and God had just left me here alone to struggle with all of this. I also became very depressed and while I tried to share with all my Facebook friends and family, I was still in a very dark place.

This truly gives them a better feeling of being outdoors and they forage and play. Just make sure they are harnessed or caged for their safety always □Īnother thing I love to do is cut branches and vines and string them around their play areas. I hope you all try this, it is so wonderful for our birds to have as much nature as possible. We have a ramp that was built so I could take the birds out by myself but I can no longer manage moving it so I will find another way. While I haven’t been able to do this in a long time, I am going to try and start doing it again. You can just feel their joy! I always stayed out with them, they were either in cages or on a harness. Their wings rise up as they anticipate the rain that is about to fall. It was amazing watching them as the clouds roll in and a little thunder sometimes. It is so important for us to give our feathered babies as much nature as possible. I use to take the birds out for summer showers. In the afternoon a soft shower began and as I soaked in the wonderful smells of the wet earth it reminded me. The other day we had a beautifully warm summer feeling day.
