Yes @steemchiller, I'm finding it hard to stay motivated these days... and I think you're right, it's a sort of "universal energy" because it seems like so many people in my circle of friends are all "having the blahs" these days. Some are just plain suffering (seems like I have more friends than ever who have cancer... even a couple of our friends in their 20's!), some people are just suffering from lack of direction and motivation.

Is it a reflection of some true "Cosmic energy?" Or is it a reflection of a world gone mad, in general, and people feeling depressed about it? Don't know. Will Steem have a great comeback in 2020? Seems like the underlying blockchain is still more viable than most, and people keep developing dApps... so at some point we surely must hit "full saturation" and people will start recognizing we have a good thing going here...
