It's dark out but the sun is coming

It is an easy metaphor today as I sit in the pre-dawn typing this. Just a touch of light beginning to show. The sun will come and the darkness will fade away. How many times do I forget that reality? Almost like a little kid scared of the monsters at night, I can be gripped by the fear of the unknown while the goodness of the known is veiled in the darkness of my depression. I only get better when I do something, anything, to get going, to overcome the frozen moments brought on by the fear. Today we head to the city and there is so much potential for a good time I just pray that I don't screw it up. Get up and do something, start by moving forward or contacting someone to say it is a tough day and let them help you get started. Doing this right now is getting me excited about the possibilities of this day!
