My husband does the lesson and I try to keep the kids quiet. haha They are pretty good though. <br />A friend of mine at work said this to me once.....which btw I don't agree with her at all! She is young, just married about 3 yrs maybe and no kids so she kind of thinks she knows everything already. you know what I mean? she said something like this...<br />if people would exercise, eat right, pray etc they wouldn't have depression. I think those things help your mind, spirit and body but they don't cure depression alone. Sometimes people need medication and therapy. Which I have had therapy and I am still on medication. I look forward to testimony meeting. This past week wasn't earth shattering for me though. I hope someday I will have a strong testimony like others seem to have. Me, my husband and kids went through the Temple about 5 years ago and I felt like I should have FELT something more. I felt distracted and unwanted thoughts. Has anyone else ever felt that way? I almost always always have a nap after church! It does me good.Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680140245620536270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336931173750264195.post-73707968474624460612009-08-03T06:13:34.330-06:002009-08-03T06:13:34.330-06:00I love that song!

Last week I led singing time, but that is the first thing I've committed to in a long (like 2+ years) time. I never know if I'll be up to 3 hours of church, let alone being present enough to teach. I frequently go home for a nap instead of attending relief society. Sometimes the nap is necessary so I can deal with my family after church. It's all about doing the best we can--your offerings are acceptable.<br />Have you read the article on Postpartum depression in the Aug. Ensign? I think it's pretty good.queensisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01771706582514424027noreply@blogger.com
