This morning over coffee, I did what I normally do. I scanned the RSS feeds, checked email, browsed the social media platforms I'm on... and absolutely nothing interested me. It felt like a complete waste of time. Maybe this is the "winter blahs" or my typical melancholy November mood -- or maybe it's something deeper this time.

This entire thread and all the thoughtful insights are exactly why I love this place.
You are people with depth, character, and realness. Thanks for being brave enough to share your own personal struggles and for being awesome.

@mlabowicz Then I best figure out how to keep this during during the winter months!
@killyourfm I like hiking around in snowy woods, cross country and downhill skiing and road bike rides when it's not too cold
@killyourfm *hug* I feel that. My dad died a couple of months ago, so now I have no parents left. And that means... I'm next.
Sometimes I think it's a marvel that we all don't go around screaming in terror all the time, because it seems like a pretty sensible response to mortality.
@killyourfm Now that feels very familiar.
