I love your picture of the duck! Was that done with colored pencils or water color?

I'm interested in your comment, "The only way to deal with depression (for me) is to befriend the beast." If you don't mind sharing a bit more, give us an example of what you mean by that.

For example, when depression hits you, how do you befriend it? You are so good with words and I have a feeling there will be an interesting meaning to that thought.
