Perpetually Positive People
I had no idea how depressing my blog seems. Here I was, thinking I was making great progress in being happy/upbeat/positive about my life and then I went and read several blogs from other people--happy people, apparently. Boy, my blog sure seems glum to some of these other blogs. It was depressing to read such positive things from people who have amazing struggles to overcome! Imagine that, being discouraged over positive people! Well, I am trying. And despite how depressing my blog sounds, I am making progress. I probably will just never be one of those perpetually positive people. Sigh.

I love this post. I am laughing. out loud. Probobly not the response you were looking for, but I so relate. I love your blog. I love it because I find your honesty and candor about your struggles inspiring. It takes tremendous courage to say the truth of where we are at. I can say in retropect that I've been depressed, that things were hard in the past, but It's so much harder to be real when you're in the moment. The hardest year of my life, I spent two silly months debating if I'd send out our traditional Christmas letter because I just coudn't tell the truth with out feeling like I sounded whiny. I wish I'd sent the letter and called it what it was: a damn hard year. I have been in dark, dark places emotionally in my life. I relate to every word you say, even if I'm not there right now. Keep talking. Keep it real.
