Good morning @rmftucker You make me blush! Thank you!
In the early days of my wife's illness when I was really struggling with depression our adult daughter told me I should work hard, each day, to find at least three things that made me happy that day and she would do the same in return. We agreed to send an email first thing in the morning telling each other what our 'happies' were from the day before. Somedays they came easy, some days they were a huge challenge to find and may have been 'I was happy it didn't rain' or 'I was happy I made it through the day not crying'. Hopefully you get the idea.
Now, nine years later and my daughter and I still exchange that email daily!
May some joy come your way today!
