Today was tough. I did not want to go outside and do this. I wanted to sit on my ass and then complain about not going outside and working out. But I didn't want to be a loser, so I went outside. Now, I can't say that exercise magically cures depression. What I can say is that it's a proven fact that it boosts the "feel good" chemicals in your brain. Sometimes, that little boost is all you need to keep you from getting sucked back down into that bleak vortex of blahness. 
I'm tired, and hungry and I"m going to go put some chicken thighs on the grill. Peace.
