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.

Way to go @Glisten, I wish I was even half as organised as you!

The boiled egg smoothie has me intrigued too.

I hope you enjoyed your sauna time, you deserve it 💜💐

@ENKELI thank you my salad friend 🍅 this is a raddish 👉🏼 🍎 ok?
The smoothie - you need calcium for muscle contraction and your body will absorb more protein from a cooked egg than a raw egg. So I put a boiled egg in my smoothie, shell included.
I had mediastinum Hyperparathyroidism. I’m well now. But it has a brutal effect on the body. I was incredibly fortunate. Undiagnosed it’s fatal.

Re: Daily Achievements!

pretty much @Glisten she was the best cook ever. yes, secret ingredient was love, ok she had to adapt to poxy ovens etc, doing best with what was given, but outcome really really good. this person was thinking improvement etc or what seems wrong and adjusting recipe etc ..

Re: Daily Achievements!

@TAB your mom sounds like a scientist, engineer and problem solver, with the skills of a chef.
What did you learn from your mom?

In response to: Re: Daily Achievements!

Re: Daily Achievements!

not much that was good @Glisten re learning fm her. not easy as she was in abusive marriage 50 plus years

after she departed (7 years ago now)

realised she was smarter than ever imagined, ok thought she was smart anyway

she was very polite, humble, giving, but let someone who was her lesser and could not have got anywhere without her walk all over her
