Gloomy Day Vibes 🌧️

Hey friends,

I’ll be honest — today feels a little blah. It’s one of those gloomy, achy-back kind of days where the weather and my mood seem to match. Not every day can be full of energy and creative bursts, right? Sometimes you just sit with it, breathe through it, and maybe find a little comfort in the small things.

For me, that usually means curling up with a book (if the kids, the hospital, and life allow it), sipping something warm, and reminding myself that not every day has to be productive to matter. We all need those reset days.

I think that’s something we forget to talk about enough — how important it is to give ourselves grace on the low-energy days. Writing, parenting, working, life in general… it all asks a lot of us. And it’s okay if today we only manage a little instead of a lot.

So, I’m taking it slow. Maybe I’ll jot down a few lines for The Beta’s Mate, maybe I’ll just daydream about my characters and call that “creative progress.” And maybe, just maybe, I’ll let the gloomy day be what it is without trying to fight it.

What about you? Do you have a favorite way to get through the “blah” days? Music, comfort food, a good book, or maybe a guilty-pleasure show? Drop your go-to mood boosters — I could use some inspiration.

Sending cozy vibes from my rainy little corner
Talk Soon,
