(From the New International Version unless otherwise noted.)

We often equate darkness with sorrow, misery, get-me-the-hell-out-of-here reaction. At least I do. That’s why I keep a mammoth Happy Lite on my smallish cubicle at work. But darkness can also be a treasure. Say what? J. R. Miller writes this in “From Streams in the Desert” by L. B. C

On Groundhog Day: 12 Winter Depression Busters
Last year on this day, I got fired. That was a real pleasant Groundhog Day. I was so confused by what had happened that I drove around the D.C. beltway twice. I missed my exit, and realized that halfway around the second time. I just thought on this day, you could probably use some winter depres

I’m so glad you finally went to this site Terri. Therese always has really great things to say as well as the other people that comment. Really, it’s a lifeline for some of us. And it’s important to surround yourself with a lot of those (lifelines, people, support) when you’re going through a rough time.
Just know that you’re not alone. And you’re not selfish. If you haven’t sought any medical advice or counseling, maybe it would help to talk to someone objective–someone who will just listen and help you through this difficult time.
Keep on hanging on. Valerie
