Par,

I've shared some of the same thoughts the last couple of weeks. Then I had a horrific car accident last night. Helped me put things in focus. Now I'm trying to remember all the things i used to like to do, the foods I loved, everything that made me jump out of bed BEFORE I met my wife.

Do something for yourself. I bought some Ax bodysoap instead of being content to use what the W stocked the shower with. It makes me smell awesome. Little things will help you through your depression. Smile at a pretty girl, daydream about soaking in the sun in Acapulco with a beauty.

And focus on one minute at a time, one hour a day, and so on. It'll get better. We're never given more than we can handle, though we usually underestimate our own strength.
