Depression is a word that is being brought into the spotlight more and more everyday as we become more in tune with mental health and emotional awareness. Being depressed can make you feel like you are helpless, unworthy and unable to participate in everyday society. It’s not something that anyone can fix for you, as depression is something that blooms in different ways for different people. The important thing to know is that you are not helpless. You are not unworthy, and you are able to participate, if only you are willing to fight back against the black cloud over you.

Trying to find remedies for depression that don’t include a cocktail of medication isn’t always easy, as medication is the go-to fix for doctors and professionals. The thing is, not everyone likes being medicated. Sure, you can feel less depressed for the tablets that you are taking, but you can also end up with side effects that are far worse than the depression that you felt in the first place. If medication is out of the question for you, then you need to consider natural remedies that will change your life. We’ve listed three natural depression remedies to help you to combat depression and give you a piece of your life back.
National Service Animal Registry. It may not have been something that you have considered before, but an emotional support animal is probably one of the best natural depression remedies there is. Getting an emotional support animal registered is important and the benefits are simply amazing. Not only can you rely on your emotional support animal for your well being, you can bring them with you wherever you go. Depression can make you feel numb, as if you cannot feel, but a dog or other pet specifically trained for your emotional health is there to help break through to those feelings while giving you a companion to rely on.
Exercise. Whether you choose to get a support dog or not, you still need to get outside and into the fresh air. Depression makes you lock into a box in your mind; you can see and hear, but you are numb and cannot connect to those around you. Being outdoors in the elements can force your body to connect with your surroundings while releasing endorphins. Those feel-good hormones have a lot to answer for and you can help to encourage your brain to rewire itself.
Sleep. Have you found that your depression makes you want to stay in bed all day? Taking advantage of that by sleeping as much as you can will help. Get yourself into a solid bedtime routine, where you would be able to help yourself relax into a decent night of shut-eye.
These are not exhaustive ways to dig yourself out of the hole of depression, there are plenty of others out there that would also help. The trick is to find out what will work for you and stick at it. Depression isn’t like a cold, where you sneeze into a tissue that can be thrown away. Give yourself time to heal and go natural with your remedies.

Hi Beautiful People,
Snow Falling
I hope you had a wonderful Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, any holiday you are celebrating. It is a good time to enjoy family and friends and take in the season. It has been cold all over the country; but it has been very cold in Missouri. The temperatures have been blow freezing for the past two weeks.
Even though I was dealing with a head cold the week after Christmas; my hubby and I wanted to make sure we saw the holiday lights in Fort Zumwalt Park in O’Fallon, Missouri. I felt good enough to bundle up and pack plenty of tissues and cough drops. We would be in the Jeep driving through the park, so we would not be out in the cold the whole time.
The cost was only $10. It was great because its a minimal donation to keep up the park. And we didn’t pay until we were halfway through the tour of lights. We didn’t think that it would be a lot of people in line because of the bitter cold; but it was a good crowd. Everyone was nice and as we drove through the staff suggested we turn on our local radio station where we would hear Christmas background music as we drove through the park. We also turned off our headlights to get the full effect of the lights.
Celebration of Lights – Fort Zumwalt Park in O’Fallon, MO
It made me feel like a kid in a Winter wonderland seeing all the beautiful lights.
The displays were sponsored by local businesses and organizations: the Lutheran Church nearby, and the Girl Scouts, to name a few.
In the collage below, you will see that we actually drove through a twinkling lighted arch, a display with the Grinch who stole Christmas was up too, and shopping display from the Girl Scouts. There were many other displays: from Spiderman, Rudolph, the Polar Express, to the Manger.

This is one of my favorite displays in the collage below because what we need in our lives and in our world today is PEACE.
PEACE Display
Driving through the display was so relaxing and enjoyable that my hubby and I plan to do this next year. The Celebration of Lights is a great way for the family to get together and enjoy the festivities of the season. If you didn’t get a chance to do this in 2017, please plan to do it this Christmas season by checking to see if you have a holiday lights display or tour in your area.

It’s no secret that the internet is filled to the brim with people’s personal and sensitive information. Most are happy to post a great deal about their life, giving away information which they’d never offer directly to a stranger. Of course, it should be able to be this way, and being able to use the internet securely is a dream still far in the future. Sometimes, the data you store on the web is used for bad. But, in other cases, there could actually be a good deal of benefit when it comes to the way businesses use your information. Thankfully, most of this is simply to sell more to customers.

Cookies
Most people are aware that the way the browse the web is always under the careful and watchful eyes of advertising and marketing companies. Using browser cookies which store information about your searches, companies like Google are able to show you adverts which are tailored to what you’re already looking for. Although this may seem creepy, it’s actually incredibly secure. The advertising companies themselves don’t get access to any of your data, instead using information stored on your local computer to figure out what needs to be shown. This limits the chances of the information falling into the wrong hands by a huge degree.
Credit Checks
A lot of people get worried about the idea of having checks performed in their credit, as this sort of procedure can negatively impact your finances. A soft check, though, doesn’t do anything to your money, and will often go completely unnoticed by the owner of the score. That is until you start to get emails and texts about a preapproved credit card here and life insurance policies there. Being able to perform a check like this can give a financial company a good idea of your success and issues with money, enabling them to accurately assume whether or not you will be able to use their products.
Employment
When you have someone’s name and address, finding them on the Internet is a very easy process. Most people have an account on Facebook, for example, and the search functionality on a site like this is very easy to use. A very common time where this can cause issues is when you’re going for a job. If the business you’re trying to work for doesn’t like what they see on your wall, you could ruin your chances of working for them, and it really doesn’t take very much to do it. It’s best to avoid anything you wouldn’t want people to see unless your account is set to private.
Hopefully, this post will give you a much clearer understanding of how your online data is used by the companies and organizations around you. It can be creepy to think about what other people may know about you, simply as the result of your time online. Of course, though, the uses for this data are usually fairly innocent, and you don’t really have much to worry about.
