This week I am so thankful for the fact that I recognize the symptoms of SAD coming on and can make a plan to deal with them. I am also so very thankful for my Dr. and my pastor's wife because they understand without judging me. I am thankful for the pharmaceutical companies that invented antidepressants. I can't wait to start on mine. I am not ashamed that to say that I need a little help for the next few months to make my quality of life better. Could I do without it? Sure, I have many times before. I just decided that this year, I wanted to life a more full life and not "wish this season away". I still hate snow and ice, so won't be thrilled if that happens, but the thought of it might not send me into a tailspin either. Life is a journey, and I don't want to be holed up in my bed for three months waiting anymore. I want to feel joy and laughter. What are you thankful for today?

First of all, I am so thankful for YOU!!!! You are a blessing to me and have shown me so many fun things to do and you are so talented. Thank you!!! I'm praying that you can have a good 'rest of winter' and enjoy life to the fullest. I am so thankful for those people around you that give you understanding, compassion and hope.
Thanks for being brave and honest. I know depression is such a hard topic to discuss especially in Christian circles. I have learned my lesson about discussing it at church as it only made me feel more awkward. I have a huge amount of empathy for others with this struggle. It's definitely my thorn in the flesh! Just know you are not alone. I always find so much comfort in God's Word, but sometimes just getting there can be a struggle. I hope your medication along with continued conversation with people you trust help. Blessings to you friend.
