Now I'm not saying this is true....but I read somewhere that the #1 factor for happiness in people is to attend church on a regular basis. It didn't matter what kind of church and you didn't have to believe or anything, you just had to go.

I go to a church that really embraces all, including the LGBT community. So I figured if they embraced that group, they might embrace MI. And so far they have.

Church gives me a chance to be nice to people and get outside of my shell. My husband and I even do a small amount of missions work at a day care center for homeless veterans. All of this is good for me.

And you know what? If I get down depressed again, I can take time off. People at church understand. If they don't, you're at the wrong church.
