Sunday selfie ~ November 3, 2024

It’s been a nice weekend, but now I’m feeling out of sorts.

This week, starting Thursday, (Halloween) hubs and I celebrated our fourth anniversary.  Yes, a Halloween wedding and smack dab in the middle of the pandemic, mind you.

We did our one tradition; we watched our wedding video. It’s fun to revisit our wacky wedding. We also took a nice four mile hike and went to one of our favorite eateries.

Despite the nice long weekend,  I can’t shake this feeling of malaise. This weekend also marks the end of daylight savings time, and that is probably ia lot of it. The sun will set today at 5:25pm. It’ll keep getting darker and darker… I suffer a bit from seasonal affective disorder. Some winters are worse than others. I try not to think about it. 

So, getting the gumption to write is feeling particularly difficult. I typically take part in one or more challenges. Kevin’s No Theme Thursdays has been my go-to, but my brain feels like a dry river bed. I also often answer the daily prompt (even though the questions can be kind of lame). Today would have been a fun one – creating a new holiday. I just didn’t have it in me.

What do you all do when you don’t feel like writing? Push through it? Or give your brain a rest?

    Congrats on your anniversary! Sounds like you guys had a great time. It’s getting dark here in Michigan and it’s 5 pm,. I get blue this time of year and when it hits I can’t get any motivation either. I usually fall into a depression and sleep a lot. [Not Recommended} I wish I could spread some magic fairy dust over it but nothing is easy. Good luck and if you figure it out please let me know. Have a blessed day.

      Thank you! Yes, SAD is tough. As a Michigander, I’ve struggled with it most of my life. I only got a reprieve when I lived in FLA. That also made me depressed, but for very different reasons 😂. Two things that help, vitamin D supplements and outdoor exercise. It helps that I have a dog that needs to be walked. It’s not sure-fire, but it does move the needle a bit. Good luck to you too, friend. It’ll be spring again before you know it. 😉
