FELLOW TRAVELER

I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN TO BE GRATEFUL.......

Well, Fall is here. Usually our falls are warm, still. In fact we often have warm weather up thru Oct. sometimes even into Nov. But not this year. It's been cold & rainy, & I'm not ready for the cold weather just yet. So, I've been in a funk, probably because of that, & then knowing winter is around the corner. It often is harsh in the winter, lots of snow, & of course really cold. I don't like getting out in it. This is where the Serenity Prayer comes in handy. The sun is out today, & it's warmer, so that's good. I think besides having depression anyway, I also have that seasonal depression. So I'm going to see about upping my anti depressent dose for the winter, that might help. I've been praying for willingness too, like suggested, & it seems to be helping, along with the Serenity Prayer. I've let a few friends know, well, they knew anyway, that I've been in a funk, they've all asked me over. I feel guilty cause I'm in a funk, I have so much to be grateful for, here's my list.
