I have been clever in using the "bright-light-lamp" in the mornings. I think I am out of, or on my way out of the "Winter depression" (the SAD). I will still use the lamp for some weeks ...

I have used this day as a combination of resting and reading old notes about my personal triggers. Have updated myself and feel refreshed to move on in this wonderful life that I don't want to be stolen by the big dark wolf with a big mouth: DEPRESSION. Of course I expect relapse from time to time and a really dark period next winter. For now I want to enjoy my inner feelings of Spring.
(Ginger tea reduces my physical pain).
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday (the day starting the 40 days of fast):
I have to do a few errands and I will go to Mass to receive my Ash cross. Usually I try to use these 40 days to try to strengthen the relationship between Jesus and myself; to try to become more and more like Him (with His help of course). I appreciate this time of the Church-year!
I send my very best wishes to each one of you. May your depressions become less hard to deal with and may you feel good about the things you accomplish either small and tiny or big and heavy!
