Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Find Your Thankful Self
Sometimes you feel you're nothing at all,
And that's all you'll ever be.
You study all your defects;
An empty life is all you see.Instead of looking at what you haven't got,
Seeing only what you lack,
Focus on your blessings,
And get right back on track.There are many good things about being you;
Count them one by one.
Your life has lots of comforts,
While others, they have none.Many people have it much, much worse
Yet they have happiness.
They take joy in little things
They're thankful, though they have less.Lift your spirits up right now;
Get out of that depression.
Find your thankful self,
And give it full expression.Find the joy in little things;
Focus on fun and laughter.
See life's blessings all around,
And live happily ever after!

This is a great post and so true. When we feel bad it is easy to focus on everything wrong or not in our lives. Sometimes..reflecting on what we do have makes all the difference.

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...
