Feeling Sad Today
Just a low level, persistent sadness. I think it's related to feeling overwhelmed by all the things I have on my plate these days. This evening I took a moment to jot down a bunch of things I have to do related to work, this app, my volunteer activities, taxes, our plans to buy a new house, and more. Seeing them written down like that helped lessen my sadness. I don't know why, because the list had a bunch of stuff that was all medium to high priority. Perhaps it was just knowing that the list was finite that helped, or that looking at it I could see that some were more important than others. While doing this my evening reminder went popped up, so I reviewed that reminder and set some goals for tomorrow. I took a minute to reflect on the day and realized that I accomplished a lot today. That further helped to improve my mood. This is an OK way to end the weekend.
