Project ‘What do you saaaa-aay?’

Depression 1 Minute

Have you ever felt like people think that you are depressed because you simply aren’t grateful enough?

Here are things I am thankful for today:

  1. I am grateful it isn’t Meatless Monday. The aftermath is unreal.
  2. I am grateful that both my children brushed their teeth today. I don’t enjoy garbage breath.
  3. I am grateful for the new toilet my husband is installing.
  4. I am grateful that I cooked so much food yesterday that I may not have to cook again until Friday.
  5. I am grateful that the wasp that stung me in the armpit didn’t sting me on the face.
  6. I am grateful that my body hurts so bad from my workout yesterday that it gets me out of vacuuming today.
  7. I am grateful that I don’t have to go to the dentist today.
  8. I am grateful that I am not allergic to coffee.
  9. I am grateful that my bug trap is full of bug carcasses.
  10. I am grateful that you are still reading this.

I am a 40 + Canadian gal who feels like I have lived many lives. My current life consists of raising 4 foster babies ages 4 and under. It is crazy. It is hard. And it is so very good. In my spare time (insert laugh here) I am multi certified/licensed as a fitness instructor and working on more. Mid life crisis much? I often find myself in a place where within the messy chapters of my life (Depression is part of this makeup of mine), I occasionally find my voice and feel compelled to share. This may only be because I am more extroverted than not more so than because I have something life altering to convey. I hope to openly and vulnerably share my life with a huge dose of humour and maybe a pinch of sarcasm. The underlying premise of everything I put forth is my faith which is grounded in love, hope, forgiveness, and grace.
