Things feel like;
Obstacles
or Threats
or Burdens
or Inconveniences.
Definitely had that feeling this morning when contemplating the upcoming day...

Hello Franzmeister,
Thanks for jumping in.
What a difference in day-to-day, for me -
Yesterday --> Extremely dark, overcast & oppressive => Felt like sh!t, and the things on my previously-posted list.
Today --> Blue skies => Felt like - Maybe I can do some productive things today...
So my outlook is either Reactionary Victim or Hey, I Think I Got This...
Hmm.
Wishing you well.

So, today I drove past an old graveyard and had no particular thoughts at all, except to note the neutrality of my thought.
It's not always like that.....
So I guess for the moment at least, I'm NOT depressed....

I am glad you are doing well. Taking in the world, objective reality, and just letting it exist, without judgment or making anything “wrong”.
I am always fascinated by old and especially small graveyards.
And if you want to change your neutral mood to a downer one, consider this truth, spoken in jest, in this classic Onion article:
