I was feeling quite sad at the start of the week.  Not devastatingly sad but it led me to think about the days, months and years that I spent in a deep depression.  At the time, I thought I’ never get out of that funk.  Whereas now, that period is almost a fleeting memory.  I used to be constantly and consistently sad, now I’m mostly happy.  As this week progressed, sadness shifted to laughter and happiness.  How did I get from there (unhappy) to here (joyful)?  I need to think and analyse this a little more deeply but it’s true what they say “This too shall pass”.  I don’t know the formula, I don’t know the magic spell besides hanging on and letting each new day heal you.  That and being surrounded by amazing friends.

I was hesitant to post this poem because I wondered if it was a little depressing and gloomy.  However, there is a transition to hope.  I guess this has been the tapestry of my life; some sad notes but overall joy.  I’m not one to tell anyone else how to  live but I have a message today, which is to “Hold On”.  It’s a funny old world, one minute you’re at the bottom but it doesn’t last.  Things will get better.
