OK. So I have seasonal depression. I'll admit it. The sun makes me happy. And when its hiding I get a little sad. So instead of laying in bed and wanting to do nothing but watch "An Affair to Remember" and "Chocolat" I decided to do a little research and found nothing except for making yourself sit under a light for 48 hours. Who has time to do that crap?! After much frustration, I decided to check my email and what did I find but an answer to prayer. It was an email from cute Donna from LOVE Health care saying happy 2010 to all of the volunteers. In it, she added a lecture about getting over depression by Gabrielle Melin. It talked about how being grateful can do wonders for your mood and increase your confidence, SCIENTIFICALLY! Yahoo for evidence! So I decided to write a little love note to myself and talk about three things I am grateful for everyday. Starting now...
1. candy
2. UGG boots, slippy socks and pajamas
3. Scentsy smells
4. Cell phone chargers
5. dishwashers
6. google images to look at puppies
7. a full tank of gas
8. babies
9. being able to skip
10.will Ferrell
11.heaters
To Be Continued...
