Beginning of the year generally isn't a good time for me. I get depressed, don't want to do anything. It's not just about the weather ...

... though that certainly doesn't help. Interestingly, sobriety actually made dealing w it more difficult at first -- bc I had to learn ...

... how to live with depression without just blacking myself out and hoping I'd not be as depressed come the morning (or afternoon).

But, since then, I've learned a lot about what I can do. And, I've even started ~doing~ some of it. Even tho I'm working out less than ...

... in the summer or fall, I'm still working out — and that's so helpful. Also, I'm reaching out, telling friends what's up. That's helpful!

I'm trying to be good to myself, not hard on myself for no good reason, when I just can't do it all. I've said no to doing some things ...

... which tears at every bit of my overachieving mind, but which I know is the right thing for me.

Most of all, I'm keeping close to & with the people who make me happy & feel loved. There are so many, which actually makes it pretty great.

In any event, that's where I'm at. And, while I often share pretty much everything going on in my world, this is an area I've held back.

And, I'm still not sure exactly what I want to say, but I wanted to say something. So, there it is.

And, when I'm in those depressed places—or even when I'm just not feeling it on a certain day—remaining grateful for all that I have is key.
-
And so, yeah, some nights when I'm telling y'all how grateful I am for X, Y, or Z — here's a hint: I'm also reminding myself.
-
And, thinking about what I'm grateful for—and, thus, where my life is at—is a reminder that I don't know where other people, inside, are at.

Truly, that's why, each night (when I remember to do so), I sign off as I do. Thanks for listening, following, & sharing your worlds w me.

And, it is that time. Off to bed here. ... Night, all, and let us be good to one another.
