Joy,
I like what you said and agree! What we believe in makes all the difference and if we believe we can beat this...we can and we will.
Positive thinking is the toughest thing to suggest to someone with depression but the biggest help. In fact some of us fight it because we know people who tell us to start thinking postiive are right and we don't think or believe in ourselves enough to think we can. But at least when someone suggested it to me I started giving it a try...and lo and behold it sure DIDN'T hurt!!! LOL
God Bless!
