I look back at 2007 and see how sick I was then, and look at how far I've come. I still struggle and I'm still working on my recovery but I've seen huge improvement so that's motivating.

What else keeps me going.

Music - I'm taking harp and guitar lessons.
Knitting - New hobby & I love it.
Volunteering - Here and on Bodies under Seige and on my psych hospital's telephone support line.
Talking to friends.
Going to AA
Taking courses - currently working on IFRS certification.
Teaching - I teach an on-line course at the University of Toronto.
Blogging - I have two blogs a personal / professional one, and a recovery blog (link in my signature).
Designer coffee from Starbucks - I love my daily javachip frappuchino in the summer.
Job hunting - it's frustrating as all get out, but I think I'm close to getting a job.
