Blink and Sam would love for you to see them on YouTube!

Well, I have returned to the land of the “living” (aka wage-earning) and I am quite happy.

Which is a little different.

You see, I’ve been very satisfied working Nights at UPS since 1996. However, ever since I switched to the Day Shift back in February, I’ve been struggling with depression. So much so that I had a nervous breakdown in the beginning of April. (Wee.) I will be able to return to the Night Shift eventually but I have to wait until August to do so (due to contractual reasons… I’m a Teamster). So, for the next three months, I’ve got to tough it out (and not have another nervous breakdown).

How shall I do it?

–::–

Whenever I feel miserable about my situation

I shall think of all that I have to be grateful for:

from the biggest (my children, my friends, my art, my health, etc.)
to the smallest (matching socks, a working answering machine, the fact that I’m not quite bald yet, etc.)

–::–

I have thought about doing this before, but I just didn’t put it into practice.

Seriously– every time I’ve ever been happy, I have been immensely grateful for what it is I am happy about. So, I shall simply remind myself as often as possible all the many reasons I have to be happy.

I’m happy to write this and share it with you.

ONWARDS,

Max
