In the beginning

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.
