Earlier today I was walking down Bay St. near Gerrard. There was a homeless man sitting on the ground leaning against the wall holding an empty Tim’s cup out. He recognized me and said “Hi Kevin”. I stopped. He told me his name was Glenn. Then he said something that shook me..

I learned Glenn is living with mental heath issues that make him unemployable. He has no family. I hope what I said was the right thing. Watch for Glenn please, or anyone who may be like him. Glenn has as much right to be here as anyone. “There, but for the grace of God, go I”

Despite dealing with my depression in some great ways, had a panic attack just now for the first time in months. Luckily had a friend who helped me through it. Realize you can work on depression but don't be surprised or discouraged if you fall back. Be gentle with yourself.
