HI all.
Well, my hubbie left me home with the kids, so he can go have a game day with his friends. He is going to be gone all day. I am not going to let it get me down though. I got a BIG coffee, and I have some good dance music turned up. Gonna spend some time dancing around the house with the kids and cleaning up all the messiness as I go. Then later, after I have gotten some housework done, the kids and I will enjoy some game time ourselves
Oh, one other thing, I went out and bought a book to use as my new diary. I have never been able to keep up on a diary or a journal before. It was never a good experience, i think, because I would always fill the pages with all my problems and such. This time I am going to do it different. This time, I am only going to document good and positive things in my diary. (Coincidentally, my new diary is part of this chocolate themed stationary collection, so the word chocolate is printed over and over again on the inside cover. When I saw that, knowing chocolate as the embodiment of all things good and sweet, I thought to myself with a smile, "yes, this will be the perfect diary for me.")
Best wishes to all of you out there battling this, the big D (depression). Know that you are not alone, none of us here are alone because we have found each other. So, lets try together, to look on the bright side of life. Let us try to spend some time being thankful for what we have. Even if it is something small, because even the little things add up. Even if it is something simple as a bed to lay on, or a warm blanket. I am learning that by focusing on those little things, I do tend to feel a little bit better.
(hugs to all of you)
