Feeling rather down today and wonder what I can do to counteract my feelings. I try to find things to distract myself and succeed up to a point. Trust other forum members are having a fair weekend and i look forward
Im not that great at distracting myself unfortunately but I did go for a long walk along the beach.. which was great! Even though it rained at the end and dog sprayed the car with shaking lol! oh well!
Now about to start cleaning ugh.

Perhaps write a list of all the things you are grateful for... I understand sometimes this can be hard, but imagine if we didn't have clean water, computers to access this group etc... hope you can manage to find some things, maybe start a gratitude journal? Just an idea... but hope it gives you something to think about. Take care x

How lovely. I am - most of the time - telling my wife and daughter that we should be thankful and appreciative for what we have; and not dwell on what we do not have. Peace be with you.
