This isn’t what I planned to write about today but here I am.

I’m writing this on Monday evening after a day full of the kind of small challenges that wear you down.

None of these things were a crisis on their own but the cumulative effect had left me feeling down and disheartened.

You know that kind of day, right?

I kind of wanted to just sit around and drink tea and just feel my feelings but Khalee needed to get outside.

So, I decided that I would take my feelings for a walk too.

I was grumpy about it but seeing as I was going to have to feel those feelings anyway, I might as well get some fresh air and exercise at the same time.

You know how this turns out, right?

Yep.

Like the meme implies, that stupid walk was good for my stupid mental health.

It didn’t make everything better but it did help a lot.

Maybe Khalee didn’t *plan* to help me by needing a walk but she’s a very good dog so perhaps it was a very clever plot on her part.
