This is very true. I've been tired these past two mornings and I really am not an Autumn or Winter person so felt like crying on my cycle to work both days just from being blue.
ReplyDeleteOh Kezzie, I am sorry you're struggling. Keep going, the fresh air and cycling will help. You're not alone, I've just been listening to a guy on the radio talking about teachers being even more stressed than usual this year. Praying for you.
DeleteI'm fine. I couldn't explain to you why I was hit with the wave of sadness; I just felt it. Once I'm at school or home getting on with things it is fine. But thank you!
DeleteGlad that you're feeling brighter now
DeleteThank you
ReplyDeleteGood suggestions! I really need to watch out for that inner critic!
ReplyDeleteNice ideas angela, but I feel they might be a bit simplistic. I'd love to be able to do some of those things, but......
ReplyDeleteHowever, I'm good at finding small pockets of joy!
I take your point. And sometimes "you'll feel better if you just get outside for a bit" isn't the right thing to say to somebody who's REALLY feeling bad. I think that your "finding small pockets of joy" method is brilliant. Your blog is a constant reminder that in the long dark days, there are ALWAYS Small Moments which brighten the hours - a real encouragement to keep on tracing rainbows through the rain...
