I'd like to start this post so that we can celebrate the things we did today. Whether big or small steps, they all need to be celebrated as working towards good mental health.
Lets not worry about the list we made and the things we didn't do.
Let's just focus on those things we did manage to do.
So today (Monday)
* I had a shower
* I washed my clothes
* hung my clothes up to dry
* cooked dinner
What did you do today?
Let's celebrate!

Journey into Now
is not bad for this kind of thing
I cant post link atm sorry
but most people are far more up with digital than I.
Tho ... celebrity stuff can be irritating ...
He is talking to people who have not really experienced real trauma ... so he can play the audience for laughs.
Still better than a lot of stuff online.

Hi @frog@utopia@BlueBay@Appleblossom and anyone else reading.
Today I am celebrating the fact that:
1. I got into town for a long overdue haircut. Last time I went to a hairdresser was way back in early August last year, so over 10 months. I have long hair, but told her to hack off 15cms or so. Which she did. Its now just below shoulder length, and light and bouncy again. I feel good. 😀
2. I was able to spend more time than usual doing my volunteer visitor duties at the local nusing home.
Both of these achievements were made possible because hubby was feeling a little better today. So I left him with his good friend and neighbour for a few hours including for lunch. It meant I didn't have to rush back. So I guess I could call that my third thing to celebrate today.
Sherry ❤
