Depression and I are spending another Memorial Day together

Photo by Valentino Funghi on Unsplash The truth is, I should be thankful I am still here.Celebrating Memorial Day this year marks 5 years since I spent 4 days in 5 East. From that experience, I am still finding out new things about my depression. For instance, did you know that my depression can hold its breath for 7 minutes underwater? Well, neither did I.

Today Is Memorial Day in the US

May 29, 2023 by Depression Is Not My Boss Leave a Comment

It is Memorial Day in the United States today. This has nothing to do with my depression, but I wanted to recognize those who served

Many years ago, on Memorial Day, our children would march in the local parade in New Jersey.The weather was always suspect. The kids would be wearing their soccer or band uniforms, or the official attire of whatever club they represented that year.  The parade began at 10 AM and would last an hour or so. The fire department always had their engines in the parade. The local … [Read more...] about Today Is Memorial Day in the US

Memorial Day Holiday Is Over, Now What?

Memorial Day fextival is canceled, but our attitude can still be positive

Canceled implies something was going to happen, but now it is not. For example, “school is canceled because of heavy snow.” This is clear. School was going to take place, but now it will not because of the snow.Small towns all over the country have canceled Memorial Day.No parade, no floats, and not a bit of rhubarb pie. Public swimming pools are not opening. There will be … [Read more...] about Memorial Day Festival is Canceled? How Is That Possible?

This Year, A Little Rain Is OK

May 17, 2020 by Depression Is Not My Boss Leave a Comment

I am happy to be alive today even if it rains

I do not care if it rains all week, I am happy to be alive.And guess what, my wish is coming true. The forecast is for seven days of showers. The best news is that my garden will get daily watering as the plants establish themselves. And then the days going into Memorial Day will be dry, calm and sunny.
