Good morning all, I miss those threads we had in December about anything positive happening, any accomplishments, sure I have depression, and anxiety, but I am so much more than that.
Imagine my surprise when I come onto the board and see someone is posting their personal website and take my supplements to help get me richer, is that allowed within ivillage guideline, moderator question I guess.
OK, I am not here to sell you my products to increase my bank account.
I am here as I love you all, and let's share anything positive we have to share.
Did you do your nails and your hair today?
Did you make breakfast for your family, heck, did you make breakfast for yourself?
Are you reading a good novel? Are you an avid TV show watcher? I am waiting for Jack Bauer to save the world again when 24 starts tonight.
Yes, Depression is real; yes, I have days when I am holding back the tears so I can see myself driving to work. Yes, I fought anxiety through part of yesterday and went against my therapist suggestion to let the tears come as hubby and I were just sitting down to watch a movie at home and spend some time together cuddling on the couch, so I over came the urge to cry and got involved on laughing on the second movie of Night at the museum.
I manage to work full time at a stressful job.
I exercise daily, a couple days a week it is gentle yoga, tai chi, or pilates, but the other days I do cardio and some free weights.
I am an active member at church.
I have some friends in my life, and others have slipped away that I miss.
I still have significant ongoing issues with my 2 sisters and Mom and a family meeting with Mom and 1 sister this coming saturday.
But my dear friends, I am grateful for today. Sure in 5 minutes I might feel like crap and be crying, but this moment, right now, I am a functioning person and I am grateful for that.
Anyone else care to share even one thing they are happy about, or grateful for? hugs, Josie

Josie,
Your such a positive person to have on our board!
OH Heidi: I am so happy for you getting to go home for a visit.
