On Depression and Recovery
I am a firm believer that life is neither wonderful, nor horrible, happy, nor sad; it is each of those things, simultaneously, in every waking and sleeping moment on Earth.
I am a believer that I cannot control my thoughts, that they will sometimes tip toward the side of happiness and joy and sometimes toward hopelessness and despair, despite my intentional efforts.
I am a believer that I can, however, practice techniques which help me to live in the moment, instead of dwelling in the past or the future, and to release the hold that the tide of my thinking has on my emotions.
I believe that realizing and accepting that life is, in every moment, both beautiful and terrible, awe-inspiring and ugly, generous and unfair, is essential for peace and recovery.

Joyful!? I intended for this part of the title to come off as ironic to those who know me well. I’m highly particular and resistant to change in most things. I switch my socks back and forth several times every single morning before I’m satisfied with their fit.
As for the Housewife part, I’m hopeless, just hopeless when it comes to keeping house. So the tagline which follows the title is quite apt: Domestic Bliss, Eventually. I hope to live up to this manifesto as I post to this blog in the days ahead. I suffer from Chronic Disorganization Syndrome, so this should be interesting.
