Hi everyone..
Their are days when just getting out of bed is a huge achievement...Other days we can achieve things like washing up the dishes or clothes, sweeping the floors, mopping the floors..very mundane and automatic robot like chores for the mentally well...They do these chores without even thinking about them...for people struggling with their mental health..these are huge tasks...
Very often I’ll get my vacuum cleaner out to vacuum ...then it will sit their for days, me looking at it, walking over it...until I can get motivated enough to vacuum..after I do find the motivation to vacuum...I am pleased with myself...
Right now I have a small foot cycling peddle machine, sitting on my front veranda..I got it out last week..to start exercising..it’s still their, I’m still looking at it...My thoughts each night is I’ll use it for a few minutes tomorrow..
My car hasn’t been washed getting close to a year now I think...Today I did managed to wash it....and discovered that it has a nice shine on it.....I did it...I achieved something positive today..which made me feel better in myself...
Have you achieved a little something today...and how did it make you feel...If you want to share that achievement it might make other people a bit more motivated to achieve something they need/want to do..
Looking forward to hearing about your achievement....and how it made you feel..
Little steps and achievements can lead to bigger steps..and bigger achievements...
My kindest and most caring thoughts...everyone.
Grandy...

Hello Everyone,
My neighbour, who I avoid at most times because she is very controlling and angry most of the time....asked me to help her move lounges around....I helped my neighbour move her old lounge out into her back room....then helped her unload a trailer with her new lounge and place it into her lounge room...

Hello all,
Grandy what a good neighbour.you are.
Today I talked to someone I find talks too much , is too loud.and whose views are so totally different to mine.
This person really stresses me but today I nodded and did not share my thoughts. It is hard but I did it.

That takes a lot of strength and patience, Quirky, well done.
I forced myself to go outside this morning because I've been living like a hermit crab with all my exam study. Feeling very refreshed and motivated!

Hello Everyone...🤗.
Dear Strawby, That would have been hard for you to do...I could only imagine how sad it was for you...I’m very proud of you for having that chat...
Please do be gentle on yourself and take care of you..
Last night I got out a small doily that’s an embroidery kit...I started doing it last night...It’s a pretty picture of a young girl with flowers all around the edges...
Wishing everyone happy thoughts..
Grandy

Made Black Forest cake for my son’s birthday.
Relief! Haven’t made one in years.
