Fully free of depression.

Here’s my recipe. For staying out of depression. I merely clear my mind of depressing thoughts. Before going to bed. Every night. That assures me of a good night’s rest. And I wake up feeling refreshed. Also, I tell myself. That I can’t fix the world’s problems. No matter how hard I try. So there’s no reason to lose sleep over it. Furthermore, I have ample reason to be happy and content. Because I have a true love. My Italian amore. Plus the riveting and thrilling fact that the Chicago Cubs have won a World Series. And I am alive. And conscious. And able to savor life. Fully free of depression. --Jim Broede
