One of the greatest antidepressants in the world is helping another person. When I get in the mindset that life sucks, I gain valuable perspective by providing a meal for someone who isn’t able to prepare their own. Taking time out of my day to visit with someone who is lonely reminds me of all of the wonderful people that have blessed my life. Getting out of myself by helping another is not only a gift to the other person, it is a beautiful gift to me as well.
