It may just be an attitude shift-- but the key is probably taking the focus off of ourselves and putting it on others. In the same way that a surefire cure for depression is to go do a kindness for someone else.<br /><br />Glad you are in a good place.<br /><br />Surly1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160895395634617774.post-59669604943010089782012-09-12T17:37:16.469-05:002012-09-12T17:37:16.469-05:00Martin,

Often (but not often enough, it seems), when I get wound up in the everydayness of the everyday and am feeling ground down by life and living, I come to realize that I haven't expressed gratitude to universe for being 'taken care of' for some time. When this realization occurs I do what you have done in this post and magically, within a short period of time, things just have a way of smoothing out. Could be it's nothing but an attitude shift, but whatever, it works.<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder...Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04410439088299142773noreply@blogger.com
