Momma (COK) gave me some good advice:

"Depression is demon that raises its ugly head and is hard to get past...but you can,
by focusing on those things that give you comfort."

And in a post about pain, and how to cope, I heard her say:

"the things you enjoy...those things make life bearable...those tiny things we enjoy even when we are at our lowest"

When our pain level is very high, or when we are exhausted by dealing with the pain, it can seem hard to think of things that comfort us. But if you really try, you could all probably think of things that comfort us and try to find a way to work them into our lives more frequently.

~I am going to try to focus on how good my new pillow feels (after I have tried many special pillows that were not that great)

~Make myself special flavored teas more often, and if am too sick to fix it, ask someone to fix me a cup of tea. (I usually feel like that is not an important enough to ask for help with)

~and keep an open mind and try to identify one more thing this week.

Of course, two small things that always give me comfort are my furkids.
