"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!"


"Wonderful!" 

 I never tire of hearing that word.

 I was blessed for a few years to teach in a private Christian school. The prinicpal at that school was one of the most positive people I knew. And he was the loudest person too! But it is not so terrible to be loud when it is all positive. I was happy to have a classroom close to his office. He often left the door open. Whenever he answered his phone or replied to an inquiry at his door such as "Good morning Mr. Smith, how are you today?" his response would be a big loud "wonderful!" every time.

I never tired of hearing that word ring loudly through the halls.

"WONDERFUL!"

 I have someone special in my life who often signs their cards to me "Your are wonderful!" I never tire of that either.

 "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful" was a signature statement of a once famous band leader Lawrence Welk.

 Would it be a nice new habit for each of us to get up each morning, look at ourselves in the mirror and say "you are wonderful"?

 Tell me, do you have to feel wonderful to be wonderful? Can you be wonderful even if you don't feel wonderful?

 Well, I am tellling you right now that yes, you can.
YOU ARE WONDERFUL!

 WHAT ABOUT YOU? How are you feeling today? Do you use the word 'wonderful' to describe yourself or others or the way you feel? Would you like to try to start using it and see if you might actually feel as 'wonderful' as 'wonderful' sounds? 

 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.
