A friend of mine put this quote found on Facebook in his newsletter. I do not know the original source but it pretty good and I decided to share it anyway.
“One awesome thing about Eeyore is that even though he is clinically depressed, he still gets invited to participate in adventures and shenanigans with all of his friends. What is amazing is that they never expect him to pretend to be happy, they never leave him behind, they never expect him to change. They just show him love.”
That is good. Reminds me a bit of the movie, Lars and the Real Girl. I avoided that movie for a long time because I thought it was about a sex doll. It’s not. Part of the movie is about a church showing great love to a person with a mental illness rather than avoiding or judging them. Check it out if you haven’t seen it.
