I'm just trying to get through the tough times

I'm Jess, and this winter has been really hard on me personally. My depression is the worst it's ever been, and my therapist suggested intentionally creating a list for myself of things that make me hopeful. I did that privately for about a week after she suggested it, then forgot. Maybe the excitement of creating a new webbed site will keep me going longer??

Here are the first few things I can think of that are Seeds of Hope:

• my dog, lying sweetly beside my workstation
• days when there's a little more sun than the day before
• the box of bleach sitting in my bathroom for a Major Hair Change

A little tracker for myself:

• March 15: grumpy, fell on the ice, could not start a work task to save my life. slightly more cheerful after dinner. :/

Currently listening: "Angry Young Man" by Billy Joel

Procrastinating on: getting back to work on my thesis
