Learning to live...
Author: Kelly Moore

Depression is ugly. It can ruin your life...if you allow it to. The first step to loving a better life is to say "I can be happy. I deserve to be happy." We all deserve to be happy. The burdens of guilt and worry are simply worthless. Saddness is usually because something did not turn out as we thought that it should have. We have given success a definition that we can not live up to. This leaves us in despair and hopeless.

Whatever your case is, and God knows there are many. We must come to the moment of "now". We must not live in what happened yesterday or what could happen tommorrow, for yesterday is over and tommorrow may never come. Today is agood day for all good things to happen. What can we do today that will make a difference.

When we sit down and do nothing, we are giving up. Find an activity for the moment that will bring joy. I find walking gives me pleasure. Keep the mind busy. Whenever a negative thought comes in to the mind, rid it quickly. We become what we think. If we dwell on negative things, we become negative. Learn something new, do something creative (DO SOMETHING) We only get one walk through this life. This is your walk, no one elses. If you do not take control, who will? There is always hope. We have lived through much pain, but don't forget the good times to.

Good luck and God bless.
