Thank you, Wendi, for being vulnerable with us. it did surprise me to read that you think some of the same thoughts I do. It helps me ignore depressing and anxious thoughts to crochet, to Facetime with my 10-year-old neuro-divergent grandson (who says, "I love you, Grandma"!), and a little gardening and rabbit care. I found today that after a bout of negativity on my way to take my 2-year-old granddaughter to the park, that that had all disappeared while we were there and so far it has lasted at least another hour. I also read the Psalms from a translation and spiritual commentary by a Jewish Rabbi.

Thanks for sharing what helps you ignore depressing and anxious thoughts, Mary. I just got home from spending a few days with my family, including my youngest niece, who is four and absolutely adorable. Being around young kids, even just watching kids I don’t know playing at the park, can definitely improve my mood!
