Vital , I ordered one of the books you suggested yesterday . I've always been interested in the brain - gut connection . I might start a food journal .

This depression thing just doesn't make any real sense to me after all these years . As you said awhile back , and it has been my experience , for no good reason it just rolls in like a fog - even at times when things are going well as if it were a snickering bully .

Appreciate your positive attitude and wise counsel . take care .
