@ maryjane.......It means when a person looks at the good things he/she has in life, the not so good things stays behind.

Most people with depression feel at times they have two halves trying to live in unison. Looking at the good in life (the light) and not always dwelling on the bad.

I wrote a journal on putting my past behind me and how it has helped me on my wellness journey.

It may be trite but it's still true, gratitude for the positive things in our lives can turn around a blue mood. It often puts an end to the pity party we are tempted to indulge ourselves in. Often, it puts the focus on that, or whom, we are grateful for.

I dont think you can think depression is just a blue mood. At least for me, it really has nothing to do with my mood. I can be depressed in the middle of great happiness.

Maryjane, I am not judging cause there's nothing wrong with anger. But something tells me you might also be a little pissed. lol It's hard to differentiate between the two. Sometimes rage/anger lingers inside of us even though we think we have gotten over something. What all that means or what to do about it is beyond me.

My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
