JACKSON, WY — According to reports, local man Norman Jensen was dismayed to discover his sad day had been ruined by good weather.
"I went out for a sad walk and came back awestruck by the splendor of creation," said Jensen. "It's not what you want in a sad day."
Jensen, who lives just outside of Grand Tetons National Park, woke up to a clear day with temperatures a comfortable 75°. As a result, his sad, depressing walk, where he planned to engage in self-pity and depression, quickly turned into a peaceful hike through the woods, giving him fantastic views of the nearby mountains and cool, still waters.
"Ugh, I hate this," Jensen reportedly said at the time. "This is really killing the vibe I'm going for here."
By the time Jensen had returned home from his walk, he couldn't even remember why he was sad. "He struggled with that a little," his wife later recalled. "He kept asking me why he had been upset, but I certainly wasn't going to tell him."
At publishing time, Norman Jensen vowed to spend more time doomscrolling on his phone the next time he was in a bad mood to avoid the risk of being cheered up by the grand majestic outdoors.
