Pro tip: my cat just taught me I was tracking my mood wrong for a year

I've been doing a mood tracker with a simple happy/sad face for 12 months. My cat, Mr. Whiskers, knocked my journal off the table yesterday and it fell open. My friend saw it and said, 'You just draw a face? That tells you nothing.' She was right. I never wrote down why I felt that way. Now I'm adding a tiny note like 'good day, walked in the park' next to the face. Anyone else have a better way to do a quick mood log?

Your cat just gave you better therapy than most people get.

That's a great idea, adding a note really does help.

Yeah it made me think of my buddy who left a note on his fridge for his roommate about the milk. Just a dumb post it that said "almost out." Came home to a new carton and a drawing of a cow with sunglasses. Such a small thing but it turned a chore into this inside joke for them.
