So my H is not the only one who frequently lounges about with eyes focused on iPhone for unbelievably long stretches of time??? laugh

It's so hard to think about his wallowing! What you wrote here is interesting: "some of the online materials about depression say occasionally try to draw them out to do positive stuff. Kind of hard to do when you are the target of many of life's troubles though. I go back and forth between the two and try to detach, stay busy, do a lot of positive stuff for me." I AM the source of so much misery, it seems, but I've also seen him wallow when I wasn't the source of it. Oh, if only he could get to the point of self-realization about his depression!!

It absolutely is the perfect spring day. I got up, made chocolate chip muffins and a pot of coffee, and gave Boxer dog his Easter treat--a new bone that brought out feelings of both pride and greed in him. He did his straight-legged Boxer prance that makes me laugh every time he does it. I'm going to wear a cute new outfit today and enjoy myself. Today would be a great day to enjoy a book outside (after I endure a family gathering, of course).
