This was a very interesting blog prompt. I'm glad you wrote it. I also think if it weren't for experiencing mental health issues, I would be less compassionate and understanding of people. I think my volunteer work with the National Alliance on Mental Illness has taken the place of a spiritual practice for me. It forces me to get up, get out of bed, get dressed, get it together and keep it together.

I could do with some regular exercise. It feels good and helps me have a more positive attitude.
