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!

They are a difficult generation to connect with @TAB

Things that we wouldn’t phase us, were hugely controversial for them. Like divorce, second marriages, illegitimate children. Gay people having to pretend to be straight.

A generation of secret keepers they are/were. It would have been a tough life.

Little wonder that my adult children are all about healing generational trauma.

But little comfort for you as child not getting your emotional and psychologically needs met.

Would it have made a difference to you, if your mom said, that she was sorry?

Hugs

@Glisten I am so glad you're well ❤🍅🍎

How do you get the shell so that it is undetectable in the smoothie? My blender is good but I'm not sure it would be that good,
