I hung out with my [pagan] priest earlier today and it was good to see him again.  He knows I have a problem with depression but I started drinking a tea made with St. John's Wort and I noticed it worked pretty well.  I started drinking a cup every night with honey.  He decided to up the ante a bit by buying me a bottle of St. John's Wort caplets as well.  Anything to keep me happy and motivated is a good thing.

So after this upswing, I did a couple of new practice pieces which made me happy.  They're not big, but the point is I did them.  Go me.  

I also got another story published on literotica, so I'm happy about that too.  

Hopefully I won't have another downturn like I did this last month for a long time yet.  I prefer being happy and upbeat.
