Depression Cannot Keep Me from Being Thankful

I am thankful for:

1. The fact that I am still alive after a lifetime ( over 60 years) living with high-functioning depression
2. My family as they continue to support me, love me, and enjoy my company
3. My ability to make choices for I can always choose my attitude towards events
4. My dog, for the unconditional love she shares
5. The four seasons, each reminding me of the change’s life brings us
6. My psychiatrist who has stayed with me as we try different combinations of medication and have found something that is working
7. Being able to get out of bed in the morning without the struggle and fogginess I had before we adjusted my medication

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
