Daily Achievements!

Hi forum friends! I've decided to start a new thread on Daily Achievements because I suffer from depression as one of my mental illness and that means it's often hard for me to remind myself that I do actually things in my day, no matter how small they may be. I thought forumites could post here a daily achievement or 2 so we can remind ourselves that we have done something good each day. It can be as big or as small as you like. Just as long as what you did makes you proud and happy.

I'm tagging @roses @Bow @Shaz51 @BPDSurvivor @saltandpepper @Daisydreamer @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @TideisTurning @Former-Member @frog @Sans911 @outlander

in case you might be interested as well as anyone else who wants to join in!

So, to get this discussion started, I'll post my achievements today which are:

- I had a gorgeous cup of tea which helped me deal with some anxiety I was experiencing;

- I paid my car registration which was due today.


See what I mean about achievements? Mine may seem small or irrelevant to some people but to me, because I have depression, these are actually major in the scheme of my life. I look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.

Re: Daily Achievements!

The funny thing is @TAB ... I was working for govt at the time ... so I was a little immune to it all ... I lived and worked near ''the street" .. but also separate ... I saw it all but did not need it ... plenty of different cultures and ethnicities there ... yeah ... think I have posted before about Amsterdam ... their police trying to warn people online ... off visiting .. if their intentions are not good ... not all tourism is worth it.

Re: Daily Achievements!

.my take on it @Appleblossom is that Amsterdam is a port. number 1. well I guess it is. so passing traffic of sailors guess.

Re: Daily Achievements!

My take on it is ... that at about early/mid 70s my nanna was expressing herself in Dutch about her horror about what had happened to her beloved Amsterdam, after she had returned from her one trip home. I did not quite understand all the details. I did visit it in 1981 and saw for myself. Also went to Oudekerk for an organ (metal pipe and keyboard) concert. lol

Re: Daily Achievements!

. think the Germans did a pretty good job of bombing it in 1940 @Appleblossom re Amsterdam.

Port cities are different I think , no matter what country they are in. people from Hamburg dont have much in common with Bavarians say, or Berliners speak differently , eat different foods, different culture, society, tolerance, religion even..

Re: Daily Achievements!

Demographics are interesting. When in Albury they were telling me about the very different characters of all the outback towns. Maybe boring highway same same ... but diff places.

@TAB

Funny thing was; I lived and worked in ports in Melbourne and Sydney as a kid. So by time I got to Amsterdam... I def had already seen a lot. No shocks. My Fancy govt job paid for great year trip.

Not all sailors tho ... gotta be careful about generalisations ... my daddyo was a sailor ...lol

Re: Daily Achievements!

@TAB Rotterdam bombing was worse and that was where my folks were. Listening to planes coming and going ... from German and Brit side.
