<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 3068262, member: 14873&quot;]I am sorry to read of your problems with depression, Erin. So many members here have provided excellent suggestions and guidance for you that I don’t think I can offer any of significant merit. I always feel that my platitudes and bromides fall short of being really helpful - I wish I could walk in your mocassins, but I can’t - anyway, here goes with a few that I like - or that have worked for me:</p><p><br /></p><p>I try not to sweat the little things in life - to me, having good health, a roof over your head, enough food on the table to nourish your body, enough money to buy the necessities of life and the love of family and friends are, to me, big things - all the rest are little things.</p><p><br /></p><p>Get a dog in order to experience true unconditional love with no strings attached - no matter what you do or how you feel your dog will understand and comfort you: “Heaven goes by favor - if it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.” (Mark Twain).</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, I could go on forever this way - these are easy things to offer when your own life is secure and comfortable. Try to remember, Erin, that you only get one shot at life - enjoy it as much as possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and I try to watch and marvel at the beauty and serenity of as many sunrises and sunsets as I can.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
