I am struggling today. Actually, I have been off and on for a few weeks. Nothing major, just feeling out of sorts. This has been a common fall theme for me over the years.
I can navigate it better than when I was younger. It seems that knowing you have survived it and learning from mistakes makes it easier. Who knew?

I am not sure if it is seasonal depression or something else. A lot of critical things in my life have come out after the struggles, so I am hoping for the same this year.
Feeling like this, I was really thinking about not writing today. I chose to anyway, even though this won’t be a long submission. It also may not have a picture unless I can find the one that I want fairly quickly.
The best takeaway I have today is that even though I didn’t feel great, I evaluated whether it was a day to take off or a day to work through it, and I offered myself the grace that any words are better than no words on the digital page. Neither is a wrong choice, and are valid options.
A lot of life is like this.
Thank you for reading, and remember, “I love you, and there is nothing you can do about it!”
