I sometime feel as though I wasn't invited to the party. I soak in all the pain and suffering like a sponge and some days ponder that same question.

Fortunatley, whether or not I feel it, I know joy exists. I am thankful snip-its of witnessing it flow in and out of my life. It maybe the kindness of a stranger, the sweetness of a child, a humming bird outside my window, or my newphew becoming a new dad. These snip-its give me hope. Hope sustains.

Taking inventory of the good things in life is very difficult when we are depressed. I have to consciously work at it. It does help. If you haven't already, check out the "What Are You Thankful For Today" post.

Welcome Sanjay. I wish for you..HOPE
