For feeling overwhelmed: Has anyone offered help? If so, you can keep a list of tasks that anyone could do, and have them do that stuff, saving your energy for things only you can do.
For gratitude: Some people find it useful to write down what they're grateful for, even little stuff like not getting caught in a storm or having a cup of tea.
