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.

Wow! Good on you! I think the last time I remember, you were travelling around WA. I'm surprised SA is warm actually - but I guess it's mid SA and not south... makes a difference. @TAB

Enjoy the warmth for me 🙂 I've got an electric blanket on and draped over my legs because it's so cold.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hi @TAB I have some understanding about small towns. My dad was born in town in Wimmera area and remember he saying when he was a kid everyone knew almost everyone. Over the years I’ve travelled to the town and have seem some growth but not like I’m used to living in suburbia Vic. Chatting with one of my relatives recently who still lives in the town, it’s still the thing of almost everyone knows everybody. Lovely town but with population less than 2,000, couple hrs drive to next large town and not being near the water it’s not for me.

This morning I managed to sell couple items on fb marketplace, one led me to talking with lady about kitten she has rescued and giving her some tips of things she can try as kitten isn’t well.
going to finish sewing one drape this afternoon

Septic is a whole other world @TAB Seems you are getting real house proud!

Been in spring clean mode atm. Lots of loads and trips outside. I dont always hang wash outside but gotta make the most of Melbourne sunny days. The side of the house was clothesline was totally weed infested, so doing a clean out there as well. lol Also gardening around the front and on the verge coming together nicely. Always something to do.

Re: Daily Achievements!

@Appleblossom I did that at my friend’s house in Bargara QLD. The weed infested clothes line area. The weeds were a metre high. I earned my keep.
