Good morning!

Good morning @JRMum!

It is so nice to see your post.

I am not working or studying today, but I am going to be spending a bit of time working on my next blog post titled "The Power of Human Thought".

Today I am grateful for my amazing friends Kristy, Kylie and Kostas.

Good morning @PositivePossum6 ,

I'm so glad you have the 3 K's to be thankful for!

"The power of Human Thought" sounds like an amazing blog topic. Do you research, or is it your own thoughts?

One thing that's been pointed out to me lately is that I should talk to myself as if I were a good friend. Some of the things I say are really nasty! Not something I would say to an enemy. My thoughts should be uplifting and affirming.

Helps to make it a good day!

Good morning @JRMum!

So for this particular blog post, I am doing some research. I am finding a lot of useful articles on Google Scholar that talk about autism -- I am on the autism spectrum myself. So I am looking at a lot of peer-reviewed journal articles that talk about autism, depression and anxiety. I am also a person on the autism spectrum that has experienced depression and anxiety.

However, when you ask is it my own thoughts the answer would also be yes. Where 'my own thoughts' means the post is to a reasonable extent anecdotal: my experience of depression, my experience of anxiety and my experience of autism.

Hi @JRMum and @PositivePossum6

Lovely to hear from you both.

Today, I'm grateful for my dogs. They bring so much joy.

Also, the quiet after a noisy weekend!

Finally, for my new allergy nasal spray that's helping my annoying allergies quite a lot.

❤️

Hi @PositivePossum6 That must have been so scary! I'm glad you're feeling better though!!!

Good arvo @JRMum 😁

I hope you're having a wonderful day!

Bed rest, a bit of volunteer work, some study and a catch up with my GP are on the cards for me today. Seems I have an issue with my brain pressure, only picked up by my recent eye exam! I should hopefully have my new glasses by the end of the week - I'm so grateful for my eyesight right now, I might not have it forever 😕

Good morning, @Ilovepenguins

How was your day yesterday? Did you get everything you had planned done?

I've just recently had my eyes retested also, a stronger set were needed. Should get them soon. Unfortunately it happens with age 😞

Hope your eyes are ok, brain pressure doesn't sound good. It's great you had them checked.

Have a great day 🙂

JRMum.

Good morning, @hanami ,

It's a new day, how are you? It's great that you found 3 things to be grateful for. New nasal spray sounds excellent, glad it's working for you.

My 2 Jack Russell's are always a source of joy for me.

Hope you have a good day, today.
