My highlight?

- I c a l l e d police station and fixed the date of the long postponed meeting

- I was able to write an email to my boss, open the mailbox and even delete not needed mails.. that takes a lot of anxiety to just look through mails !

- I was able to take my dog for a long walk

- cleaned up plants

- had coffee with my friend

- washed my hair (that is an accomplishment!!! Trust me ;)

- watched only one movie (and not five to just waste my day)

!!!

Life's simple pleasures...a cold day outside, warmth inside...yes, washing my hair, a big accomplishment that always seems to get put off...hugging JEG when he didn't feel so good...putting him to sleep...watching his handsome face as he fell asleep...knowing he's better off because I love him and I'll watch over him and be here when he wakes...not going to my art class and my spirituality class so I can be here when he does wake...and knowing my presence will make him very happy, and his will make me very happy...such simple things are what make life so wonderful...thank you, Lord.

You woke up, right? You're a living, breathing being. Right? You're talking to your friends here on this forum. Right? Every day you get out of bed and you put one foot in front of the other and keep going, you have created a major, beautiful accomplishment. That you have wonderful friends on this forum is just icing on the cake. Also when you are counting your blessings, don't forget to look in the mirror. You are an awesomely nice person that regularly dispenses help and encouragement to others. What a special blessing for the rest of us. Right? So, there you have it. I think you did a lot of special things today!!!

Managed to go for a walk today. I've been trying to exercise a bit, but depression and anxiety have been winning every single battle for motivation to do almost anything lately, never mind exercise. Even though it was just one day it feels like a small positive step.

Going out takes a lot of effort! It’s def not easy! Congratulations!!!

Hope you're feeling better, my friend. I worry about you so much....

in reply to JEG325

Hello I hope both you and Sue are well ?

I’m at a low point emotionally and physically I’d say I’m 80% okay 🤷🏻‍♀️

JEG325 profile image
JEG325 in reply to

Well then, I'll pray that you regain the other 20%. You are such a good person that you deserve to feel at your best at all times!

I love snow, too! Your joys sound absolutely wonderful.

For me, yesterday I got to meet a new student (I tutor). She is 8 years old and just the sweetest. And today - it is coooold out so all my activities were cancelled! So it's like a day off for me!

I am in the middle of Polar Vortex 2019, it's -28 F, and I had a flat tire on the way to work. That doesn't sound like it would be a highlight, but the Good Samaritan who stopped and helped me change the tire in such cold weather renewed my faith in humanity! It's a good day :)

Hi JEG325. I'm in Minnesota. We are finally on the upswing temperature wise. We are looking at an 80 degree temperature swing by Saturday! Another thing to be happy about :)

Hi Polar Vortex, buddy! Well, it's only -4 °F here so not quiiite as Polar-y!

My highlight today. ..firstly, it's my day off work :) I spent the afternoon with my elderly dad, I had a really good appointment with doctor, I came home to my beautiful cat and I have heard from all 4 of my children telling me how proud they are of me getting promotion at work. It doesn't get better than that. Have a lovely day Starrlight, you keep shining bright. x

JEG325 profile image
JEG325 in reply to Starrlight

Explain to me how that symbol means that. I love the thought and indeed you shine brightly and have love all around you....some of my love, for starters.... Are you doing okay today?

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply to JEG325

Why do you want me to explain what an emoji means? It’s just an emoji.

JEG325 profile image
JEG325 in reply to Starrlight

I was only curious about how the various symbols equate to the meaning of the whole symbol. I do not know anything a bout that and was curious. If I offended you somehow, I apologoze.

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply to JEG325

Oh okay no no it’s all good I just was not understanding why you wanted me to explain it.

How are you my friend?

JEG325 profile image
JEG325 in reply to Starrlight

Okay. Having a late night after a long, busy day. Though I have been a little under the weather, I feel a bit better right now. Preparing to go to bed in a few minutes. How are you?

JEG325 in reply to Catwoman2018

Very nice indeed! It's wonderful to see family being such a high percentage of people's happiness. That restores my faith in life a bit....

Love the snow!! But not here in Texas. My highlight today is getting little one off to school and going to my only escape, my job I love. I work in surgery and it makes me feel important to someone and like I can make a difference. 😊

JEG325 profile image
JEG325 in reply to

You're dang right that's important and you make a big difference! You should be proud of that everyday!

So amazing. Sounds like a great job Melhall. You are making a difference. I think 🤔 my purpose right now is to raise my kids right but I wish I could do what you do too.

in reply to Starrlight

That's a real important job too. I'm trying so hard to do the same. Sometimes it's difficult to find a happy medium between hovering over her and letting her grow. I just want so badly to protect her from all that we have gone through in life but it seems impossible.
