Was the depression from losing your father? You said that his death occured 14 years ago and if you are 40, I suppose that would put you in your mid twenties or so that he died? So, I will assume that the depression was caused by your father's death. In which case I don't blame you for hiding under your covers and being depressed. That's a huge life event that shouldn't happen during your twenties. I mean, yes, everyone eventually becomes orphans at some point but when things happen at an age they aren't supposed to, it hurts more I think. Feel free to tell me if I got the situation and timing totally wrong about your depression.
I'm glad you found something that helped you cope. Currently I am hoping my new anti-depressant helps me cope with my depression, but it being my third one, I am having doubts it'll work. I've always been a little curious about Tai Chi, it seems to be about controlling your breathing along with slow fluid movements that involve lots of physical control. I assume it reprograms the emotional centers in your brain, much like meditation would. Am I right about that? And, I assume that you alter your teaching for senior citizens and for others to meet them at the level they are at.
Your doggie is the cutest. EEEEEE! You'll have to excuse me. I love all dogs and miss my dog of 17 years that I grew up with. So every dog I see I just want to squish them and hug them (including yours). Since you said that Lurchers are a very active dog, do you go outside a lot with Flay? Does he give you an excuse to get out of the house?
