Hi all,

🌹 How did the day go?

Today was good as I met up with a few friends.

🌹 What was the best thing for you?

Met up with friends and had such a good catch up with them, with plenty of laughs.

🌹 What did you find challenging?

I spoke with my mum over the phone earlier and my dad was struggling with his memory. This made me feel sad.

🌷 How did the day go?

It was a marvellous day, have not had such a perfect day in years.

🌷 What was the best thing for you?

It was like magic in the air, nature, and people all were smiling today.

🌷 What did you find challenging?

Processing negative emotions during a call with a friend felt attacked for a second, but remembering that they have my best interest at heart helped me to let go.

Last week a person gave me a wonderful gift - a note of encouragement.

And disappeared.

I sent her a thank you note. I hope she responds, but I have no control over that. I am not going to wait or expect her to call.

Today I thought 'well that was an act of desperation which is unlikely to work'.
'I made that effort to socialize yesterday . . . What can I do today?'
So I went to the YMCA and signed up for an exercise class.
I hadn't been there since the pandemic and my membership card was still good.

@Positron2

Great news about being able to exercise again in the YMCA. I am getting back onto the exercise wagon and feeling positive about it too.. motion is like medicine!

🌷 How did the day go? My day was positive. I left the house for once to get coffee and then to the gym, my creativity was also sparked.

🌷 What was the best thing for you? Waking up in great health is the biggest blessing. Going to the gym after a 3.5 month hiatus was a great stress reliever.

🌷 What did you find challenging? Going to sleep. All my negativity creeps up before I sleep. All my harsh voices keep battling me when I am my weakest before going to sleep telling me I am worthless and bad things will happen to me.
