Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I want one small thing at the end of each day to keep me from sleepwalking through them
• My kid still asks me to carry them and I barely register it, and it hit me that one of these ordinary days is quietly the last time it ever happens
• I lie down at night and the whole day reads as one undifferentiated blur of busy, and I genuinely can’t point to a single moment in it that felt like it counted for anything.
• By the end of the day all I can remember is everything that stressed me out, and the small good bits have vanished
• I treat the ordinary moments
