Good morning to everyone.
I am grateful I had a good Christmas. its been a long time. My boyfriend spoiled me. His family spoiled me. It was so much fun at his parents house. We played the Christmas game 4 times with differnt people bringing gifts for 10 people and we did the go around. His mom makes a wonderful breakfast first thing and then we go for the tree which is overwhelming. I felt so loved and I felt I belonged. I've always wanted tgo be included in a big family. I feel blessed for that day. I just had to share what my boyfriend bought me and I was amazed how he payed attention to what I liked. He bought me Gabrille from Chanel the new perfume which was expensive, gift certicate to Ross, earrings I mentioned I liked, nice slippers, nice neck warmer and it vibrates, sonic hedge hog game and I'm sure others things I missed. I know it's not about the gifts but it was nice to be spoiled.
However I am back in my depression again. I hate hate depression. I refuse to be depressed today. I'm getting out and living life today. Haven't showered or washed my hair for several days. This is due to depression. I want to thrive and live again but I don't have it in me. So I'm taking baby steps.
My plan for the day is meditae, go to Ross, Michaels and maybe macys from the gift certificates I have recieved. Taking my dog for a walk. Meditate and go to my ACA meeging tonighgt.
I heed to find something to live for. Thanks for listening.

So glad you had a happy and peaceful Christmas.
As for the depression, baby steps, always baby steps. It's good to see you've got some plans for the day.
Take care.
