I'm so sorry to hear what you went through, but I'm glad to see you could tell your yellow days from your blue days -- recognizing that and even going so far as to allow yourself to have those blue days, is really important. I love how you say find the comfort where you can...I absolutely believe that -- it's what keeps you hanging on. Thanks, Mike!

Sometimes when you have blue days, you think that every day after that will be a blue day, too. So when you look back and see this, you're able to see not only that there's hope, but how far you've come. It's a comfort to see how far we've come. :) Thanks for the well wishes -- they're a thousand times returned :) Dani: I think I really needed that visual to remember that it’s never as bad as I might be led to believe.

Your support is unwavering and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. The week has been filled with yellow days, thank goodness. And I'm looking forward to yellow days ahead. I hope that you find the same! I’m late in replying to everyone, but Akirah, thanks so much! Your support is unwavering and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it.

There are days when I can't get out of bed, through either pyschal or emotional pain. But on those days that's when I put on a smile & limp out to see the world. Last summer I devolped an intense pain in my foot. it hurt so much I was walking w/ a cane. But at work I didn't use the cane, I didn't limp, I powered through and made each day the same... at least to some people. I'm not saying I go the "right" route. But I've always tried to make it so people didn't realize what was going on so they wouldn't worry. I know the yellow days, & I know the blue. On blue find your combfort where you can, a hug from a friend, a paw on the hand, those are what makes the blue days better. :-) I know what you mean.

It's a great way to monitor how you're feeling. I hope you have tons and tons of yellow days and that you keep holding on to that hope on those blue ones! I love the calendar idea.
