ReplyDeletePhotographing and writing down my gratitudes helped me through such a rough patch. It's become habit now. I find myself, especially on those days that I feel like I'm drowning, thinking "what am I grateful for" and grabbing the camera and setting out purposely to find those gifts. I (almost) always feel better after that.
