One BIG apology!

[Aggie_Ama]

((Clock)) Thanks for checking in and no apologies for the evil depression. I have gone through it and was too ashamed to admit it. It is awful, glad you are looking ahead to brighter days.

I normally love Christmas but this year I am scrooge to the max! I have tried to do fun things like decorate, go on a Holiday Wine Trail but dang I just want to fast forward to New Years Day. Eat a big ol' bowl of Black Eyed Peas and look forward to a new year.

Good to hear from you, Clock.
It sounds like you've had a hard year. You are not alone, many people have been experiencing a particularly awful year.
I do hope that if your depression does not go away on its own soon that you seek some professional help, since depression is very treatable and you have every right to feel normal and happy again.
I agree with you, putting this past year behind and looking forward to changes and new beginnings in the coming year is a good attitude.
Here's to a good new year for all TE members that are experiencing difficult times right now.

Clock, here are some very bright and special butterflies to lift your spirits.

Many hugs,

You were missed but you're back now which is what matters.

The rough spots in life are just temporary and make us appreciate the good times.

Sending good karma your way - Happy New Year.

wanna know a secret? DH and I haven't sent cards in two years and depression is the reason... we're really TRYING to send them this year.

I wasn't on the card exchange - but don't be hard on yourself. Welcome back.

Hey Clock,
I thought of you when I went with a friend to our favorite Mom&Pop Ice Cream Parlor - they had a flavor of ice cream called Clock Work Orange! (I didn't have any though, don't really like the combo of chocholate and orange) So you're famous in New Orleans, you have a flavor of ice cream named after you!!! Aren't you thrilled! Glad you're back.
