I felt better today than I have in a long time. For the past 2 weeks I have struggled with depression, sadness, and lack of motivation. I think the 3 could be intertwined and I felt a sense of impending doom knowing they would be my Grandma Alice’s final days.
I am proud of the fact that I continued to show up despite my deep sadness. I know that each day will be a little different, but I am feeling peace in knowing that my grandma is resting peacefully.

idyllic– adjective
- Pleasing or picturesque in natural simplicity.

I think today was proof that things get better and feeling down and depressed is no reason to quit. We might need to take a brake, rest, and slow down and that is perfectly fine.
Life has been feeling awfully heavy lately, but I have a feeling that sunny days are ahead!
