I can't believe that the first month of 2020 is over. It went by so fast!! And I thought last year flew by. My mental wellness continues, though there were a few days where I was feeling down and thought I was depressed. I then used my light box from 45 to 60 minutes, which... Continue Reading →
Current Mental Health – December 2019
Volunteering at an animal rescue:Â I started volunteering with animals again, after years of merely contemplating it. I could never quite make that leap.
