“Georgia O’Keeffe inspires us as an artist and a survivor of depression. She struggled with depression and anxiety throughout her life, especially in her forties. Her rebellion against her controlling husband was very difficult and even led to her spending time in a hospital. 

After returning home, O’Keeffe gained an impressive new focus on self-care. She began to spend many months of the year away from her husband in New Mexico, where the landscape inspired her and where she could eat and sleep well. She also remained committed to her art; many famous paintings feature the landscapes she saw in the desert.”

I suffered from anxiety much more than depression. My heart goes out to O’Keeffe. My depression time was the worst time of my life. Thinking about it makes me shiver. They say her flower photos saved her life.  I’ll see you on Sunday. I need to take a picture or two for my mini-sabbath day, Saturday.
