what to do with all that spare time

[Guest guest]

Just a thought since I have been fighting the depression battle for a

while now. I can certainly relate to wanting your life back and being

frustrated about what you can't do. See the more time you have to sit

the more time you have to think about all the things you want to do. I

can actually see myself doing them but when i try my body just laughs

and says you want to do what? It is all about pacing yourself. I am

in the process of painting the inside of my house now it may take me a

lot longer than someone else since i only work about 30 minutes before

i need a break and i set small goals for each day but it does help me

feel like i accomplished something and since i quit smoking i have a

lot more free time (who would have thunk it). Another thing I have

done is go to college online. That really keeps me busy and granted I

may never use my degree like someone else it does keep me sane and

keeps my mind stimulated so I guess it is well worth the cost since it

is something i can do and do well at which is rare in my life.
