Feeling blue

I've been feeling more blue lately. When I think about it, it seems like throughout this last year I've never really been in a level mood. Occasionally I would write about how I hadn't had grieving symptoms in a while, only to find myself experiencing them the very next day. Over time the mood swings form low-to-high and high-to-low just seem to be farther apart and the highs and lows not as deep.

On the widow bulletin board it's common for folks to advise one another to be easy on themselves. Lately that seems to be good advice for me.
