Feeling Gravity's Pull

I've been feeling depressed for the past couple of days. The cause could be one or all of the following:

• Adjusting to the diet I'm on.
• My upcoming birthday (July 3).
• The upcoming anniversary of my brother's death (July 4).
• Problems members of my family are having that I won't go into.
• The complete mind-numbing, boring drudgery of the project I have to do at work right now (writing requirements).
• The heat and drought this area is going through. The heat of the summer is much easier to bear if there are plenty of thundershowers to cool things down a bit.

And a bunch of other things...

Lord, give me strength...
