Like many artists and writers, I struggle with depression.
What makes me feel better? Prayer, first of all.
And secondly, music. Country music. Gospel, Classical, Jazz, you name it. Any or all of these lift my spirits, but this past week, I indulged in the music of my youth—the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Connie Francis, Ricky Nelson, and one particular kind from a previous era—Glenn Miller’s fabulous “In the Mood”. I can’t stand still when I hear that song! I danced in the kitchen while it played at top volume.
And afterward? I felt great.
