I feel a connection to people that I haven't even met! I have discovered for myself that when I am feeling depressed or discouraged, it is difficult for me to just change my thoughts or focus (at least consciously saying to myself 'I need to change my thoughts or focus'), but when I take an action of 'work' or service to another, my thoughts and focus do change, and I start to feel a connection or feel better through having taken an action. As my mother always told me, 'If you're feeling depressed, do something for someone else and get your thoughts/focus off of yourself'. PS I am not claiming to apply this to anyone else, I just know that it helps me.danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10136247311801111977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037843510946990879.post-58663895419717177072009-10-29T11:07:10.424-06:002009-10-29T11:07:10.424-06:00Thank you for this post.

I also like to remember, that in a vision, Enoch saw God weep because of the wickedness of men which caused "bitterness of soul" within Enoch, but after that vision, God told Enoch to look and he was shown Christ. I guess that when you do feel despair it's all about where you "look".Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10942173220844564813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037843510946990879.post-17667919554867231282009-10-29T11:04:18.437-06:002009-10-29T11:04:18.437-06:00Have you ever thought about the symbolism involved...Have you ever thought about the symbolism involved in the chandelier in each temple's Celestial room? The more I attend the temple, and the more I experience life, the more I see there. Most of it has to do with light, truth, and JOY. Fun to think about.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05778438551861576705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037843510946990879.post-48098571835898606582009-10-29T10:40:15.479-06:002009-10-29T10:40:15.479-06:00I love this post!

As you may know, I struggle daily with clinical depression, discouragement, and anxiety on all sorts of levels. Medicine has helped, the Atonement really helps, and your Truth Tools have been a great blessing in my life. I'm going to continue to try to improve each day. Thanks!! :)<br /><br />P.S. If I'm feeling up to it on that day, I'm going to try to come to your class in my stake on Nov. 4th. My friend is the new Relief Society president in the ward next to ours and she told me about it one day when I went to visit her spontaneously on one of my walks. She knew I was a fan of your blog and I thought that my stopping by and her telling me about your class must not have been a coincidence. :)Wendihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182455822784592676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037843510946990879.post-76231295250865678092009-10-29T10:09:06.760-06:002009-10-29T10:09:06.760-06:00Hi Sherrie - I don't know how long your enforc...Hi Sherrie - I don't know how long your enforced make over picture has been out there!
