During the winter I encountered a bout of depression. I felt isolated from my family back in Massachusetts. The winter was long and it snowed from November through March here in Maine. I felt at times like we lived in an igloo.
One thing that got me through some of the loneliest, darkest moments was my companionship and daily walks with my little dog, Kiely. Each day we would walk down the little dirt road where we live and she would make me smile with her curious little nose sniffing out various adventures. Kiely knew just what I needed, fresh air and a smile on my face.
Animals can be a great help during lonely times and depression. They cuddle up to you and make you feel that you are loved. An animal's love is unconditional and can help you remember that God is with you. God's love is unconditional. Kiely is like my angel from heaven. Our walks together helped me to heal from depression.
God bless all animals and their owners. May God heal everyone suffering all over the world from physical and emotional illness. May each of us hold God's hope in our hearts and have the blessing of holding an animal in our arms.
