I know that for me November to May are very hard months. There are too many sad memories in my life during this time and I do need to work harder to stay up. One of the reasons I am here right now. I also have started my new year with goals. I have a new journal started yesterday just for goals and trying to stay positive. At this point I am only doing daily goals or what I call TD5.s ( 5 things to do today) If I get the first list done before noon then I do another TD5 for the afternoon. Then at the end of the day I try to give myself a pat on the back for what I did do for the day. It has helped in the past so I am ready to do it again.

I am also trying to work through some of my grief by doing some journaling with journal prompts related to the family members I have lost. I went on line and printed out a ton of prompts just to get me started. And have a book with 365 quotes that I want to use with the journal.

I hope you can find something that you enjoy and can work through the down times so you are feeling better soon. Good Luck!
