One thing you did good today

[Guest_128]

On returning my shopping trolley today I was confronted with a lady and two small kids that looked less off than me I suppose. The lady fumbled for a coin and I said here by the kids an ice cream 🍦, She looked at me as if I where giving her a 100 , it was $2

BAM I felt so good 😊

Hi 9 names later,

Ohh, these are great things. This is turning out to be a great list.

Okay so here's my moment; feeling a bit vulnerable here. I've had a bad week this week; lots of things going on with relationships and money and not coping very well. I ate too much chocolate and then felt guilty so I ate more - it was a bad day. But yesterday I made myself sit and meditate. I hated it. Usually I can get on board but I did not want to sit with the thoughts and worries and fears. But I did it; and I felt so much better afterwards.

Hi Romantic,

Sorry to hear things have been wobbly for you, I think it's a winter thing eating chocolate I'm loving it 😬

I need to start seriously doing meditation,it's kinda like everything it gets to hard sometimes.

today I'm feeling pretty good, we ran out of wood so I have been dragging out some old stumps with the bobcat and cutting up with chainsaws. I worked up a sweat,ground a lot of grubs for my chooks.

Hi 9 names later,

Aha thank you! For me it's a winter summer autumn spring thing! It's probably one of my favourite foods.

Oh try it! Even if you start with like 2 minutes. It's hard to do but it can be very helpful. Mindfulness meditation for me is much easier and you can do that anywhere - even chopping wood! It might be worth looking into.

Is the wood for the fire given that it's winter? Brr

My good thing yesterday was working on a jigsaw puzzle. It's something just for me and it's also hard to do but I've found that it's helped so much with my anxiety. It's hard to worry and find the right piece at the same time!

Hi,love it with the puzzles,what is it going to be?

I get to he whole meditation thing,when I was flying hi I read a book called The Power Of Now,I loved it so much it put me in hospital. Yes I need to start slowly again.

My humour for today I changed the sheets on my 27yr old bed.🙈

Today I bought cinnamon doughnuts for my kids (and me). And I had banana quik with my dinner, and it was delicious!

I love what you said about the book

"The Power Of Now,I loved it so much it put me in hospital."

I think that would be a perfect quote to print on the cover of the book 😁

Today after weeks and weeks of rain, I took myself down to a local beach. I spent over an hour enjoying the beautiful sunshine, collecting seashells, took photos of perfect sets of rolling waves,as surfers enjoyed the great conditions. Getting to the Beach is apart of keeping my mental health in check. It's help ease loneness and keeps me connected to Mother Nature. Life is Better at the Beach 🌞

[Guest_128]

Yeah funny but I can't write well. Have you read it?

I can't believe you said aboutcinnamon donuts,I bought 6 (cause I can eat them without teeth) last week,ate 5 before I got home and gave one to the dog.😳

Later thanks for your post

Hi 9 names later and all

Great to see that more have joined the thread! I love doughnuts and I love the beach! Win win.

The one I'm working on now is probably the first in a long time. It's a picture of Uluru. I got it at a thrift shop but completely underestimated how hard it would be; a hundred shades of brown and a hundred shades of blue.

My good thing yesterday was reading. I really enjoy it but often get caught up in self-help or psychology books (that's kind of my niche), but yesterday I started reading a romance novel! I've never read romance before so it was interesting, plus good for my mood because I got to sit still and relax!

One good thing I did today was eat a healthy breakfast.

Today I got a haircut, after more than a year. Nothing drastic, but at least I look presentable now. And my hairdresser actually seemed happy to see me again.

No doughnuts today 😞

when do you get some new teeth, Later?
