My feeling about winning or losing. Something that I live by and I have tried to teach my children.

"It is not winning or losing a game that is important, what is important is that if you can play the game you are already a winner. There are many people who can not play the game at all. It doesn't matter what the game is: track, basketball, cards, board games, video games, if you are able to play, have fun and do your best, you are a winner."

This game I play with depression is not something that everyone has to play, I am so thankful for that. It used to be that I could win a hand or two against depression, I felt like I was gaining. But now depression is in the lead and he is way ahead. I can't seem to win a hand against him. I so want to win a hand. I keep playing his game, I try new strategies, pills, therapies, game plans, and all for what? To lose?

Sorry for ranting, I just don't like the feeling of losing to depression.
