Thanks...I do count friends and wife/son as the true blessings in my life. And I appreciate the kind thoughts.

BTW, my story is not too complicated - I got involved in a business that I really don't enjoy; it was supposed to be a good investment (it is, sort of); I left the business two years ago to return to my career; a year into that, I quit the job, partially to return to the business, and partially due to pressures from the job. As a result, I launched myself back into a rather deep depression that is exacerbated by my lack of meaningful daily activity. It is really like unemployment. I never realized, until I left it, how much I needed the work that I was doing.

So, I have no choice but to stick with the rebuilding of what was, at one time, a rather good life.
