It feels good to be out of the depressed slump I found myself stuck in for the past month. I had a friend who was very kind and voiced her concern for my mental health. The feeling that someone cared helped pull me out. It was like a hand reaching into the water and pulling me up from before I drowned.

She helped me remember the blessings in my life. How I’m surrounded by goodness. It helped take tbe shadowy blinders lf depression off and encouraged me to filter both the good and bad to see how they both bless me. Bad things being good is odd to me, but apparently duality is good for life.

I may be frustrated with car repairs, but they get me out of the house and give me something positive to do. Chores, well I feel accomplishment when they are completed. A loving hug, makes me feel needed. A good conversation helps me feel satisfied. Good music soothes my soul.

I’m glad to be alive and to feel happy. I havent been able to say that often.
