The Best Time

In my work I have the opportunity to ask my patients whatever I think is pertinent. Since the most common problem we treat is depression, I often ask, "When were you the happiest." Invariably, always the older, grown women say, "When my children were little." Why is that? I think it is because of the love, and love is the best feeling. Whatever else we happen to be going through, when love defines our days and binds us to our children, we have purpose and direction. This is the month to celebrate love, and really, is there anything else more worthy of celebration?
