I usually try to be uplifting. But situational depression is attacking. Cold, windy weather,
Treadmill broken waiting for companies to do their part in replacing or fixing this unit.
Probably the biggest weight is my poor dog as she goes downhill. Nothing we can do. It’s part of life.
And my therapy is knitting. Unfortunately I’ve spent today making and tinking two heels. A whole day just to get back where I started.
Something I learned in real therapy is to look for the good of the day. Okay. I got my resistance bands in the mail. I plan to try them out tomorrow.
I did get a bit of editing done. I just wonder how much my mental state affects my writing and knitting. Maybe I should take a couple days off and knit hats and color. Then it might be more soothing to my spirit.
What do you do when life sucks and you want to cheer up?
I’m sorry that you’re feeling down my friend. Sending you lots of hugs
Thank you for all the hugs! ❤️
Take care.

I should reach out, as you just did. I hope our ((hugs)) help a little. More music? Less screen time? Sketch or write (with real paper) plans for your next happy time (going for a picnic come spring maybe)? Reading Matt Haig? Or reading aloud poetry by May Oliver? Nothing works very well for me except trying everything and waiting.
Mary Oliver, not May, sorry.
I’m kind of trying it all out. It’s hard to live in the limbo. I think once Kali can let go of her pain we’ll all feel better. We’d take her to a vet but we feel that hour and a half of rough roads would be even more painful than waiting. I will miss her but there will be relief, too. And my kids’ aunt, my ex’s sister, just passed so the mully grubs grow high.
Today coloring. Easy fun distraction. I don’t do a lot of screen time. Though today is Zoom friends day. I’d love to see you on Zoom sometime.🤗❤️
I try to get out and walk, or meet a friend but I realise your situation is very different to mine. I know it’s hard but life goes on and things improve nothing lasts forever. …our poor Ruby is going down hill too… Sometimes life just sucks 💜💜💜💜
I’m sorry for Ruby. Yeah. I realize reality and adulting. But it all sucks.😥❤️🤗
Yes indeed it does but I am sending love and support 💜
❤️🤗🙏
I know what that feels like. Just wanting you to know you aren’t alone🥰

Thanks!
I isolate. I just want to lay in a dark room and just BE.
Sometimes that’s exactly what we need. Time to rest and recuperate.
