Tackle it Tuesday #114

Hi Tacklers!

This is Janice here.

As you faithful TT tacklers know, our resident tackler Carolyn, who took over hosting TT for me here at 5 Minutes for Mom, has been struggling lately with depression.

For the past several weeks, Carolyn has bravely shared her pain as she tries to fight through her depression, while holding down the toughest job on earth – being a mom. Despite her battle, she has even kept “tackling” with us each week.

But, tonight Carolyn wrote and asked us if we would post for her… and pray.

Those of us who have experienced depression know the agony Carolyn is in right now. Susan and I have been so proud of Carolyn for openly writing about her depression, so that all of us can be encouraged and inspired by her experience.

I know Carolyn doesn’t want to disappoint you loyal tacklers. So the Mr. Linky is here for you to link up and spread your tackling inspiration.

And if you want to help Carolyn continue to tackle her depression, please leave a comment with your words of support. I know she appreciates your encouragement and friendship so very much.

What are you tackling? Link up and let us know!

Join Us For Tackle It Tuesday

We’re making housework blog-able!

Each week on Tuesday, we are posting before and after pictures of a project or trouble area that we tackled this week.

Find out more about Tackle It Tuesday here.

The project can be little or big – whatever you want. Basically, Tackle It Tuesday is about giving ourselves incentive, deadlines and satisfaction in getting our household tasks done. (It doesn’t even have to be housework… just whatever is on your To Do list.)

If you tackled a project this week, just add a comment and add your link below.

Let’s do this!

    So sorry Carolyn! I hope you’re feeling better soon. No tackle for me this week; I’ve been away. I’m hoping to get caught up in time for next week.

    {{{HUGS}}} to you Carolyn. As someone who still deals with ups and downs several years after being diagnosed with depression, I know how hard it is to see a light at the end of the tunnel sometimes. No matter how bad things get, that doesn’t mean it will always be that way – there is hope and you are on the right track by seeking help. Blessings to you.

    I am praying for you, Carolyn. I am a faithful 5 Minutes for Mom reader even though I don’t always participate in Tackle it Tuesday. I too suffer from depression and anxiety and need to be reminded often that God is with me even when I might not feel like it. (((HUGS)))
