Positive – This word makes me feel positively happy because I have learned how to be a more positive person. Before I began depression treatment I looked at the world in a very negative way. I rarely saw anything good in it, or in people. I rarely had anything positive to say about anything. As a result of some home work my counselor gave me, I have learned to view the world in a completely new – positive – way. It creates a feeling of joy in me knowing that life is made up of so many positive things.

Progress – This word makes me feel positively happy because I am amazed, and pleased at how much progress I have made toward being as mentally healthy as I possibly can. Almost two years ago I wanted to die. Now I see that my life is full of potential, peace, and promise. I am very excited about all the possible directions my life will take.

Pick-me-up – This word makes me feel positively happy because of the two young ladies who have been wandering around my blog. Their begging me to adopt them really was a wonderful pick-me-up. They made me giggle, and smile more than I have for several days.
