I need to learn how to not feel guilty about not being actively productive.
I have free time now, and it's a strange feeling.

 "what are two negative thoughts you don't want anymore" I'm so tired of the doom and gloom.  I'm tired of feeling like our society is careening to apocalypse, between the pandemic, climate change, neoNazis, etc. etc. it just all feels so hopeless all the time. a second thought I'm tired of is fear of aging.  I'm trying to exercise and eat better, which goes okay-ish but sometimes when I get pains or have difficulty during or from working out, i'm concerned that my age is the problem.

The chaos dies down, and quiet returns. We had a nice, quiet holiday.  Grief has sat heavy with me this year.  I let myself cry alone Christmas morning for the first time in...I can't even remember, and it was a nice release.
