I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired!! Severe depression feels like a roller coaster that I never knew I got in line for... I go to the carnival for the fried food, not the rides! I find myself wishing for a "Final Destination" moment.

I don't know why, but ...I like weird, I love random and I hate surprises. Go figure.

Most people find my morbid sense of humor distrubing. However, it can be the only thing that makes me crack a smile. I find myself giggling at these macabre thoughts. People ask, "What's so funny?" I just have to say, "You don't want to know."

Chocolate makes me content.
Naming my uncoordinated cat Grace (I just end up calling her Kitty though), makes me smile.
Coffee is a reason to get out of bed (for a little while).
Re-reading my favorite book once or twice a year makes me feel comforted (From the Corner of His Eye by Dean Koontz).

All these little things don't change my world or make my depression go away, but they do break up my day just enough to get through it.

Call it curiousity or needing to expand my own bag of little tricks, but I wonder what works for other people.

What random little things help you smile when nothing else could or should?
