A quote and a book I think I might look for May 28, 2008

First the quote:

If nothing ever changed, there’d be no butterflies. — Anonymous

Now the book:

I’ve begun to think of my depression as being as much a lack of a quality/skill, as the presence of an illness. This is (I think) a constructive thing as skills can be developed. In this case the skill is resiliency … or should that be resilience. Either way, I mean the ability to work through difficulty and to come back from set backs reasonably quickly.

This post on The Happiness Project is an interview with a woman who has written a book about this very thing. I think I might go looking for her book on Amazon. If nothing else, the bouncy red cover will brighten things up.
