Hello! It's been so long since I've been here and posted. Feeling a little down today, very much so actually.

I would love to hear some of people's positive shares for the day, week, month or so on. Any small or large victories or happy moments.

I'd love to hear about some of the positives out there in the world.

Thanks :)

Well this maybe a small positive but because I suffer from extreme social phobia and agoraphobia, I manage to leave the house to get dairy queen with my brother and his fiance. I know it seems like nothing but my anxiety is that powerful I manage to do that when I rarely leave the house. Sorry if that sounds stupid. Lol it's very small but a victory for me trying my best against my anxiety.

That's amazing! As someone who also deals with anxiety I totally understand how paralyzing it can be. The icky feeling you get doing something that has to be done.

I hope it was a good time, not stupid by any means! Every step forward is worth celebrating

That is a huge victory. You should be so proud of yourself. It is so hard to leave the house. And you went with your brother and his fiancé so social too. Definitely celebrate this as a huge victory. It will also give you strength to do it again. Congratulations.

I’m a concierge/ receptionist at a senior living community. Some of the residents have told me that they appreciate how nice I am to them

Hi Dot.... a little story to share

Once all villagers decided to pray for rain.

On the day of prayer, all the people gathered

but only one small boy came with an umbrella

Now that's Faith. :) xx

There is something that soothes me quite a bit that I am thankful for. In those early morning hours, I love to sit and listen to the wild life outside and in particular the birds. I value my morning down town quite a bit where I can just fall into nature a bit.

I love how folks on this site come to each other’s aid with words of support. I see you have received some and that makes me happy.
