Something that made me smile today or helped me to breathe a little easier for a bit.

Something that made me smile today or helped me to breathe a little easier for a bit.

Hi all,

I am finding the grid diary I’ve started helpful and I thought we could start a thread where we write, post image or song etc of something that helped even if for only thirty seconds on that day. It’s just a snapshot and not meant to be anything big. I think some days it will be a drop and run for me. I think for this to work best it would help not to have many responses to others posts or chat but really just snapshots that we can scroll through for inspiration or to remember. I do think it would be nice though if you found someone’s post inspirational and you tried it to let them know. The feeling that it helped someone is enough to put a smile on anyone’s face I think.

For me personally there were a few reasons for starting this. One was to have like a forum journal of positives where you can look back to find the things that have helped in the past. I also like the collective and shared part of it. I have found my experience doing something like this is helping to look for those little things more each day. Lastly I thought it might be used for coping box ideas a bit. Anything that you find self soothing is one of the things that you can post.

Looking forward to everyone’s posts.

💜🤗

I sometimes find on a foggy morning the moon is bright @Shaz51 . A bit strange, I know.

I love the Burger King joke

I saw the Jupiter, Saturn and Moon alignment on TV - I actually missed seeing it

But I got a photo a couple of nights ago of the moon so near Saturn it was really hard to see it and Jupiter was close too - and there was a full moon bown - but the photo isn't a good one - possibly because of the ice in the air

It does make me smile - and I have watched Jupiter and Saturn cross the sky together all year - the last time this happened was 25 years ago and I watched it then and that's when I started to watch the solar system seriously

Do you use special equipment to view Jupiter and Saturn @Owlunar ? I love the sky.

Hi @Maggie

I have an app on my phone that tells me the rising and setting times of planets and constant watching means I know where to look -

And for the photos I take I only use my phone - and I can expand the pictures and I have posted a few of them at Dec's Guide of the Night Sky

I'll tag you there

@Shaz51

I hope you can get that pension - I can't see why not but I do know that it is hard to get a pension - been there - done that - got the T-Shirt and at the time - the DSP

It will make a difference I am sure and I have my fingers crossed
