Went to the Johnson City photography meetup last night. Only three of us showed up, but a good time was had nevertheless. Todd was there with some great photos of a little latino girl playing the tambourine and dancing with her mom. Crystal was there with her new Rebel and lots of good questions. And myself of course, just glad to be getting out of the house. I'm having to work to keep from getting stuck inside my own head right now (depression), so maybe if I can get some "getting out" momentum up it will help.

I'm working on self-praise right now, so I'll remind you to be sure to give yourself recognition for getting out and being social when the depression might have kept you in. :) (I have a hard time recognizing the things I should be giving myself credit for.) Praise helps build momentum, I've noticed.

Spring seems such a difficult time for depressives, I know it's been a rough one for me. It seems to be getting better, I hope it does for you soon too.

You know Todd, he goes to your church.

Are you on Meetup?

Yeah, Todd has told me about it a time or 50. Nope, I've been too lazy thusfar to join. :(

When I'm depressed I have quite the opposite of self-praise going on in my head, but I'll remind myself to give credit where credit is due.

Easier said than done.

And why did you go ashore before I responded to your message just now? I was on a call. :P
That sounds good to me. Wanna do another one for the same price? I think slightly less pictures on that one.

Me, too. But I'm practicing, and I've got some help -- even my physical therapist is great at praising -- and the things that the people around me are choosing to praise all seem so minimal to me that I don't see them for all the "big" stuff that is "wrong." So I'm learning, and practicing, and making little-kid-style star charts with small goals on them. It feels weird, but nice.

I'm not really motivated by a sticker or a star, but when I get one I smile about it never the less.
