Chato: Frosty… What did I tell ya… ain’t the Florida SUN just melting your stress away?!

Title: Frosty the Snowman’s Winter Vacation Disaster

Disasters can be common any time you bring together family, friends and illness.  Just like poor Frosty the Snowman’s attempt to reduce the stress of this time of year, you need to find the right stress reduction tool.

Don’t let the “stress” of having so-called fun, ruin your recovery and push you off  into a psychiatric episode.  An episode where you end up on the six o’clock news; in your skivvies on top of a car roof or large snow pile yelling…”I’m the KING of the WORLD!”…while wielding a decorative samurai sword. (What! LIKE that has never happened to you too?!)

Title: Medication and Exercise Synergy

Wine Glass: Depression Glass

Is Depression Glass Really a type of Therapy?
If you know what Depression glass is…then you should get this cartoon joke. Or if you’re like me and had no clue what it is… then getting the above cartoon will take a little learning. Don’t worry, I only learned about Depression glass this week when I found a book at the library titled: “Depression Glass and It’s Many Powers.”

My very first thought, when reading the title, was the above cartoon.  Still, I picked up the book thinking it was some type of “new” therapy or “ancient” healing glass or something like that. Intriguing.
