When I was going through a severe bout of depression, I couldn’t feel any joy in my life. I had a wonderful life – a husband and two kids who loved me, a safe place to shelter, food to eat, a supportive and loving UU community. Intellectually, I knew all that, but knowing I should feel joy and actually feeling it were two different things. I knew I was better when I began to actually feel joy again.
