Dear Debbie,
I thought of this really great idea to write letters. Letters of true raw feelings. That will only be shared with me, or you; however you look at it.
Pretty much my whole life I have struggled with depression. I really am so envious of people that have an up beat attitude, or someone that can see the positive. Because for me, I wake up discouraged most days, and struggle all day to not be grumpy. Not that this is how I enjoy spending my day, but that is really my true north.
If I could recognize one thing today that sincerely makes me feel joy, it would be something simple. Lora's husband Dan got a permanent job. This is good.
I worry about my children, about them making good choices. I worry about finances.
I am so happy to have such a good husband, wonderful blessings of being a mother. The gospel is true- I know this. I am thankful for so many things. You would just never know by looking at me.
