  * bed ~10:30pm; snuggle.  Meant to get up, but...

A pretty good day. Walked for nearly an hour (feeling a little stiff from the weekend after not having walked much for weeks). And I got in an hour and a half or so of just plain quiet snuggle in bed: the original plan had been for me to hold Colleen until she went to sleep, and then get up and work on something in the office. About midnight we just kissed and went to sleep.

Walking, snuggling, kissing and going to sleep? Sounds like you're on the right track. Congratulations. I'm so happy for you!

You will probably be surprised how much benefit you can get out of even a short walk. Physically and emotionally. It will probably do more for the depression than drugs and therapy combined, but of course, your mileage may vary.

I don't think I have to sell you on the benefits of snuggling and sleeping.
LOL!

*virtual hug to you both*

Walks help, but don't solve any of the underlying problems. I've walked 30-60 minutes/day for most of my life; it's only the last year or so that I've slacked off to every couple of days, and the last couple of months that it's been down to once or twice/week. In other words, I was walking every day during most of my chronic depression.
