Brave – it makes me feel positively happy when I think about how brave I have been since beginning depression treatment. I have had to open myself up to a stranger – my counselor – do things that make me feel uncomfortable to overcome my anxiety, and make difficult decisions to protect my mental health. I am braver than I ever gave myself credit for.

Beauty – This word makes me feel positively happy because there is so much beauty in the world. I knew there were beautiful things, but I did not realize how much beauty I am surrounded by until a few months ago. I find beauty not just in the things made by man, but in so much of what God has made. Even people are beautiful. It is a shame that it took me so long to see so much beauty, but I find it wonderful that I do now.

Baby – This word makes me feel positively happy because I love spending time with my grandbaby.  She is the cutest little thing, and loves to cuddle. She is only a month old, but seems to have a rather distinct personality already.
