(It could signify rolling into something new...) Thanks for the encouragement. It means a lot. I want to be wholly free of depression, but mostly reduce anxiety to a manageable level, by the new year. That's my goal. There's work to be done. I am so ready...
I like what nowhere46 said about it:

it's like the child-like declaration of power of a toddler saying "look at me" or "I can do it". Even though it made sense to me, I was shocked at how well it worked. At the same time, I find that it automatically brings present moment awareness in a wonderful way.

I suspect that having lots of fun with it and really making it your own is great. For people who can't snap their fingers, I have suggested sort of pounding your chest like a gorilla . When I'm in a situation where it would be rude to do, I imagine "SNAP" in huge colorful letters.

Thanks for this!
