Last night I went to drill at the new unit. Within five minutes the CO asked me if I would like to be XO. While they really need an XO, I am not sure that I am up for the commitment. It feels great to be working with the kids again. It is a small group but I believe the 1st Sgt will do a great job. Some members of my old unit are transferring into this unit so I will be working with old friends as well.
A few weeks back I spent some time with D's sister and brother in law listening to and advising them on difficulties they were experiencing with their teenage son. Yesterday D spent time with her sister and apparently they are using and benefitting from my recommendations. Hearing that I made a positive difference in someone’s life is the best antidepressant I have ever had; and I have had them all :-).

I love it whenever I hear that I've made a positive difference in someone's life. It's so personally rewarding to know that you've made someone else's life better, even in a small way.
Congratulations!
Making a difference postively is the ULTIMATE anti-depressant. Means you made a difference...in a good way.
That is a wonderful thing to hear about yourself.
:) :) :)
