I am an optimist. I believe in the human spirit. I think I've said that before. To prove my point..my wife and I were out to lunch at a local diner, when an elderly couple were coming in through the door, she had a walker and he a cane. I went and held the door open for them. They were thankful. We ate our food and when it came time for the check the waitress said "you bill is taken care of". We didn't know for sure who paid our bill as we didn't know anyone in the place. We gave the waitress a generous tip. As we walked out the senior couple thanked me once again. I am pretty sure they paid the bill. Any act of kindness someone can give another is the best gift of all. I hold doors open all the time. I am not bragging, I want to illustrate that kindness goes a long ways.
I am feeling good. My moods are somber..in a good way. I have my ECT scheduled for Thursday. I am looking forward to it. I am not overly depressed, if at all, but the maintenance ECT will ensure that I will keep feeling better. I was thinking of about the need for the treatments. I came to realize that much like my medication, ECT's are a vital part of my recovery process. "If it works, don't fix it".
Peace,
David
Hi David
Wow...that was such a nice thing to happen....it is like a domino effect...you are kind and then you receive that kindness back. If only the rest of the world would catch onto this. :>)
Thank you for sharing your story. It does give hope that the world is not some giant cesspool as I sometimes imagine it to be when I wear my depression goggles.
Hope your treatment goes well. I am glad you have found something which works for you.
Hi David,
yes that is a very nice thing to hear about. It puts hope back in my mind about humanity when you hear about or see something happen like that.
have a good night,
Marishka
