. soup, big girl pants, dad, down, flowers, friends, happy, memories, November, orchids, sad, widow

recently have had conversations with a few people about being down, feeling sad, being depressed… seems like many in my circles are struggling this month…

November doesn’t seem to be a particularly good month for me… not sure if it is the time change, gray days, cold weather or what… seems like many have similar feelings…

my dad’s birthday was in November… he was a great guy and I miss him…

I like to remember that where there are downs, there will be ups…

today I bought some orchids to brighten my space which always perks me up…

then I made a lovely pot of Thai shrimp soup which was delicious and a wonderful treat…

beloved, big girl pants, down, feeling, light, sad, sunrise, sunset, triggers, widow

for the last few weeks I have been feeling down… 

missing my beloved a lot… usually when I am struggling with missing him I can spot the triggers… a date… a particular activity…

can’t put my finger on anything in particular right now… and I think that makes it worse…

this morning it was dark when I left for work… and when I checked online it showed the sun rose at 8:09 am and set at 6:15 pm…

so it really is getting darker all the time, sigh… light affects me a lot, or lack of it…

and of course the overcast skies and rain don’t help much either…

find that I sleep more as it gets darker… maybe I want to hibernate, lol…

have been taking vitamin D for the last few weeks and think I need to start using my SAD light on a regular basis…

anniversary, beloved, big girl pants, bison steak, down, tears

feeling a bit down today… could be because I wasn’t feeling well for most of the day…

was talking with a friend recently about our lost partners… I was mentioning how I had no tears on Friday and that felt surprising, but good…

but I am wondering if this might also be a response to getting through another anniversary…

had the kids for bison steak dinner with new potatoes, mushrooms and Caesar salad… it was lovely, although the youngest felt they had just been here for dinner, and that they should only come once a week, lol…
