How to be understanding when you don't understand.

In an attempt to lift the veil of gloominess from my mind, as of late, I have been doing a number of things like reading scripture, working on crafts, (okay, pinning crafts/ideas on Pinerest is about as far as the [working on] has gone, but still), listening to uplifting music, and talking things out with friends. All of these things help me to clear the heaviness that has lingered too long in my head and heart. I find myself very thankful for activities and friends that lift me up.
