My First Post

[JoeInfantry]

Hi, I just joined and wanted to start off with a positive post. I'm a combat veteran, I have dealt with depression since I returned from overseas. I've been through more meds than I could have ever wanted in a lifetime. I'm also a musician. A father. A husband. I forget about how many blessings I have in my life on days like today.

But in the spirit of the thread that this post is in (Successes), I just wanted to say that I've found great success by writing music and playing in a band. It's a wonderful outlet. It gives me something to look forward to. I joined the VFW and am actually an officer, but I don't look forward to going to the meetings. The brotherhood I'd hoped was there isn't there. I have music. And it makes me happy.

Good to meet all of you, looking forward to chatting with you all.
