To live instead of exist

One of my goals to live instead of exist was to take my anti-depressant meds every day and not blow it off. So, I got one of those seven day pill boxes with S-M-T-W-T-F-S on the top. Believe it on right, that silly little thing works! Now I take them every day.

Ok. So I was to go to the game next Wednesday, but my work schedule changed and now I cannot go. I was going to take my nephews and niece yesterday, but then their schedules change, and we just went out to dinner instead.
So I am glad to see this list to keep me on track.

This summer I shall:

Attend the free weekly band concert. I like the music and it will get me out of the house.

Attend 3 Major League baseball games.

Atten 1 summer play.

Ok. So what if this list is just “attend.” It is still about participating in life, instead of just “floating along”.

I am taking my anti-depressant med EVERY day like I am supposed to, instead of blowing it off because I feel good, and then sliding back into a hole and not knowing it, and then not taking the med because I am too depressed to take it.

It’s only a little step, but an important one.
