I've lived with depression all my life and over many years, developed ways to get me out of bed in the morning! Mentioning these ideas to friends, they suggested I wrote them down so out of the need to live a full, active and happy life with my own depression, A Pocketful of Smiles was the result.
Once I decided on the format, it took less than six months to put together, the hardest part being, what to leave out hence my plan to write a second edition.
