We are inundated by so much darkness in our lives--violence, abuse, illness, poverty, natural disasters. Yet, every once in a while, a bright spot emerges. Perhaps something you have seen, or something you have experienced. Something like seeing the sun rise while you are in an airplane. Or, hiking in the woods and coming across a particularly beautiful area with a small stream and rocks and trees. It is not something that will change the world. It just makes you feel better and lets you know that life is not all bad. And it gives you the strength to deal more successfully with life's challenges.
I would like to know about the bright spots in your live. Sorry I can't provide an example. But, if I have had bright spots in my life, I don't remember them.

My friends, both on and off line provide some bright spots. I was mildly depressed when I joined MyLot, and I found that it lifted my spirits because I could help other people and they valued what I said or did. I also love hugs and physical contact. It is soothing. Swimming or being in water is very uplifting to me as well. Getting relief if I am in pain is a bright spot too.
