People seem to think I am depressed… (poem) by Ed Matlack on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on July 2, 2009

Blessed I would say.
Sometimes it may seem that ones can find it
meaningless or depressing to do the things in which you speak.
I think of it as beauty to be able to enjoy the uttermost that God has set forth for our enjoyment.

Far from depressing I would say.
Blessings and take care,
Gwendolyn

YOU are kidding, I do the same!
DEPRESSION, WHOA IS ME huh Ed!
I have a better word! It's called "INSPIRATION" and loving what is Simple in life, and that is not linked to depression!
It's happiness for what LIFE/NATURE/OUR EARTH/OUR Ocean has in store!
Love this poem! Say it LOUD! Say it Proud!
as your dog licks your heart and hand!

WRITE ON!
As I am followed to the ocean before long....

Dear Ed,

You are, most certainly, blessed because you are living in the now and experiencing the very best that this life has to offer. Many people are not so fortunate. You expressed yourself well here in this poem.

Love & Light always and in all ways,
Joseph

Your last line sums it up sir..."Or maybe truly I am by God most assuredly blessed…"

Contentment begins within without the influence of external sources...you seem to have captured this...well done.

Hey thanks a lot for depressing me. It's hundred and seven stinkin' degrees here today and you're getting your feet wet in the cool waves. Well my feet are wet too but they're just sweating. (think gas mask) You & Rufuz are two lucky beach dogs.

Definitely not depressed, Ed; but sometimes I wonder, especially when you down yourself; you deserve much better in life than what you are getting! Know you are ever in my prayers/thoughts!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :)

God bless you and your family!
