Earlier this week, I was feeling  like that capable, engaged, and thoughtful person I used to be. Then a chest cold struck me. I’m trying to not feel like the universe is setting me back to my sad, miserable, and deserved state. This was after several weeks of purposeful work to boost my mood (initiating sex, exercise, meaningful time with daughter, completing house projects, cooking dinner nightly, etc.). It was working. 

Anyone else have experience with the body setting them back?
