Good reminder that the bad never goes away, so we'll miss the good if we're waiting for a time when there will be no negative distractions.Kim Webb Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16884535003466972985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021334748633952462.post-83650963921262528732013-07-16T05:59:53.074-07:002013-07-16T05:59:53.074-07:00This is so, so wonderful!

Unfortunately, I've also dealt with depression in my life, and I've discovered the tragedy of actual chemical imbalances that make that choice sometimes impossible, no how hard you try. After being through all that, though, I've discovered that the choice part is what will be the difference between a person who completely gives in to the depression and the person who fights it. There is hope in fighting it, not so much in giving into it. It might be a weak fight, but it's there. It also helps to be surrounded by people keeping a lookout for each other. <br /><br />I'm in a situation right now where it has been really difficult to keep going and decide to be happy. It's nothing life-threatening that I'm going through, but it has been difficult all the same. Thanks for this reminder!Michelle D.
