This time of year is when I start to slide into my depression deeper. I’ve been feeling it for about a month but it’s growing. After the holidays I’ll be at my worst. I’ve got like a billion projects going so hopefully being very busy helps but I also have a difficult time stopping and resting which really doesn’t help.

I’m going into this winter from a different headspace though and maybe the weather in my mind will be gentler.

With the love and adoration you deserve
Well done

Hi, Lovedly,
I like your analogy regarding trees. Today I took a long walk through the woods and was struck by the stunning beauty now visible since the leaves have fallen. Knots and holes in the trees, along with gnarls and squirrel nests, moss and quirky twisted branches - all imperfect and wonderful and beautiful. The bark of trees is now open for view, dark and rich, or white and stately like the Sycamores. Anyhoo, like the crazy gal I am, I hugged a huge tree, thanked it and vowed to visit again. Throughout the winter, I'll need it as a companion and friend.
Thank you!
