> I think that the first and foremost battle is to get over the guilt and self-resentment. And then to just do one or more things each day that give us pleasure...whatever it maybe...like walk in the woods or go to bookstore and read or go up the mountain and look at the view or go to a cafe and have tea with a friend who understands and respects you...or eat ice-cream, or watch a great show or movie on TV and not feel any guilt about that, or paint a little or sew something cute on a piece of cloth......just look at, hear, smell, feel, touch, or taste something beautiful...without any guilt or sadness.


Now that is a beautiful statement. I think anyone, depressed or not, would be fortunate to live by that philosophy. Others with more steady energy supplies can do more in a day.. but it can still just be a lot of busy-ness, you know? You've reminded me, meaning comes in small bits, moments. I had one good moment today sitting on the sofa knitting-- the needles were clicking and the house was surrounded by crows cawing. I heard them in all directions and saw a couple through the curtain and I felt alive, connected to nature, and at peace. One moment like that can justify a whole day. Or a week.
