Fighting depresion

Hello,

I know it has been a while but I have been reflecting on life and what it means to me.  I hope what I share can help you get through the day. 

There are days when many of us, especially men, find ourselves dealing with a situation that frustrates us.
We don't want to deal with the problem presented to us.
Sometimes life dictates how we have to attack a problem.
Sometimes it means starting over.  Maybe debt or a life change like divorce forced changes that anger or sadden us.
We look at the things we once had, and maybe the feelings that went along with them.
Not everything that is remembered is positive.  Sometimes we can even we think about an event that changed us and how we reacted to the relationship.
What do we do when the world feels like it is caving in around us and we feel we have no options or way to escape the hole we have fallen into?
Take some time today to look around.  Look into the mirror.  Look into the eyes of the person looking back at you. 
Realize how fortunate you are to be looking at that person, that you woke up to live another day.
Think about one thing you could do for yourself or someone else.
You may know them or it might be a complete stranger.
Maybe just opening a door and giving someone a smile or a friendly hello will give that person hope.
You might have prevented that person from going down a hole of their own by a simple positive gesture.  You will also find yourself feeling better.  Small things can have big effects.
Maybe take a moment to go for a walk or a drive to see the sights around you.
Just remember how fortunate you are to have a chance to live this day,
when so many others did not get up today.
Life is what we make of each day, so try to enjoy it.
Be blessed my friends and live the day.

Ali
