Dearest Barbara - How was your day today? Tell me something positive about it.

Got grosery shopping done for the week. It's over with untill next week.

Barbara

You sound so depressed to me. Are you seeing a counselor or taking medication? I know that when I am depressed it doesn't matter what happens in my day or who speaks to me, everything comes out gray.

But when I feel better mentally and physically, even gray days can turn into blobs of happiness and color. I understand that your mom is negative but I wonder if there is an underlying problem with you.

Lotta hugs to you,

I'm depressed because of the constant stress I feel. Having a horrible time trying to be positive. Almost everyday mom calls me upset and with a complaint or problems. Today she took a laxative and she feels nauseated. On top of her strong pain from injury. Snow coming Monday. Worried about husband driving early Tuesday morning. Etc. Etc.

I keep...you all in my prayers .....for strength and guidance ...and that you have love in your life ...and reconise it .....God bless
