I am happy to say I woke up this morning with a new attitude. I don't know how or what, but the heavy veil had been lifted. Maybe it's because I knew I would have to pull myself together for DD's basketball game, or maybe it's because the sun was shining so brightly and I was able to get a full night's sleep.

Most likely it's probably because those reasons just listed and the fact that I ruminated so much last night, that my brain processed the problem to my satisfaction. Whatever the reason, I was able to put on my running clothes and get outside for a short walk. (Sun is going down, otherwise it'd be longer). This is a breakthrough in a weeks long battle.

I am wishing all of you a 'breakthrough' in your storm. You are probably prone to depression as I am, so when that fog is lifted, it is palpable. Run with it. Do your thing and don't look back! I don't know how long this will last, so I'm taking extra special care to not put the thoughts in my mind that led me to the pit of hell. One can only attack themselves for so long. I am through. At least for today.
