Express Yourself with Cooking


Have you noticed there was a trend for awhile in movies, to have stories about cooking and eating?

 There have been some good ones! Have you seen any of them?

 Julie and Julia
Eat, Pray, Love
Chocolat
Waitress
The Perfect Man


 The picture I have at the top is from 'The Perfect Man'. Movies like this can really make you want to cook or bake something. And since it has a happy ending it can be a good depression getaway at the same time.

 From the choosing, to the shopping, to the creating and then the eating, cooking can be a great way to express yourself! If you need to get inspired, why not get one of these movies and prepare to let your mouth water!

 Have you ever baked bread from scratch? It's fun, and it smells so good when it is cooking. And of course there is nothing just like the taste and smell of freshly baked bread.

 Years ago when I was a school teacher, one of my fellow teachers Melda had a 'bake away the winter blues' party. We all brought our favorite cookie recipe and we took turns in the kitchen creating our delectable treats. At the end of the day we each went home with a variety of cookies and had a fun time doing it!

 COOKING! We are adding it to our list of ways to express yourself. You are going to be very busy if you do them all!

 WHAT ABOUT YOU? How are you feeling today? Do you enjoy cooking? If yes, have you done it just for fun lately? Is it even more fun if you ask people over to enjoy what you have? made?

 Don't give up! There is hope for depression.

Anyways, that reminded me of how much you can find on the internet just with a few words to google. It's amazing, isn't it? And that got me thinking about how much information I have found over the years about depression that has helped me.

Joy and Sorrow - Together?

  Joy and Sorrow - At the Same Time? Have you ever experienced joy in the middle of sorrow? I have. My father died suddenly at the age of 59. I remember the moment. I was at his funeral, sitting in the front pew holding my mother's right hand with my sister on the other side holding her left hand. The three of us were drenched with tears. The big church was packed. But despite my sorrow I was filled with joy at the life my dad had lived, at the lives he had impacted in a good way, and at the thankfulness I felt for having him all those years.
