Dear Readers:
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way..... Wait! Not all is merry and bright during the holidays. Some of us are flat out depressed with what is going on in our lives. And, if you are depressed, somehow during this time of year you seem more depressed. I know for me I am feeling a little blue -- my mother is being moved to hospice care today. Her cancer has spread throughout her body and there is nothing else the doctors can do for her except manage her pain. Yesterday, the doctors told us that she has weeks to live and that we might want to move Christmas up if we want to spend it with her. Wow! Now, that's depressing.
My mother is my bestfriend and this is the first Christmas she will not be able to come to my house. So, I'm taking a tree to her.
Don't get all gloom and doom on me. I am at peace with my mother and so is she. Somehow God has managed to put the right people in my life and the right authors in my life to help me through this. Today's author, Mickey Bell, is one of those. His book, "Reverse the Course of Depression" arrived across my desk just in time. I can highly recommend this book to my readers.
