Depression

[Tom]

Wow, I didn't know that Les. We're here for you though when you need us. Feel free to PM or Email me when you need to vent or just chat.

I went through a little bout of "down in the dumps" around the holidays. I just had a heck of a time getting out of bed even with the lull in my business. Decembers are usually pretty bad for business, but this past December was just the pits. Luckily I had done all of my Christmas shopping before Thanksgiving, I knew December was going to be a rough month, so I was ok there, but I just hated not working. What got me through my funk though was, believe it or not, running trains. I went the other day over to my friend Steve's house, and he has a SWEET double deck HO mushroom style Western Pacific Layout. I brought along a bunch of power and just lost myself for HOURS running trains. All my cares were checked at the door, and I just focused on one thing: Making sure I didn't have a cornfield meet in the canyon! Seriously though, it was that little getaway that left me refreshed, relaxed and stress free when I came home and since. I wish my friends and family could see me for just 10 minutes in there running trains at Steve's house. Then they would understand why I am a model railroader.
