Jeff,
I'm so glad I stumbled on to this before going to bed....as a person who "fought" debilitating depression for two years I so appreciated your outlook on depression and how the old adage "if ya can't beat 'em, join 'em....then beat 'em" is applied to it. I printed it and tacked it on my bathroom mirror.
thank you again

I'm glad you can celebrate it, but I'm fighting it. It's kicking my ass tonight...

Thanks Masky
It seems a number I've my fellow bloggers have been through depression and they've become a wonderful source of support. Blogging is great therapy. If you ever want to "talk" about depression or anything else, feel free to email.

Jeff - you are very, VERY welcome!
I've been dealing with depression for many years. Though I wouldn't wish my symptoms on anyone I embrace the fact that it makes me who I am. I also embrace the fact that I've learned to appreciate so many things as a result of my experiences. Hey, have another celebratory drink on me!
