only me again todays pre work anxiety walk went as usual as I contemplate the many various problems and challenges for the day all of which are most certainly not going to happen after the 10th lap around my local town looking at all the same coffee shops and food places ultimately choosing costa because cafe nero which is where I spend most of my mornings contemplating a whole host of non issues was full.

I had forgotten that costa has many many things to choose for lunch and as such before my mind could spin up I reached in a grabbed at random as one of the kind people on here suggested what a relief it was.

Although the caviat was that I absolutely could not look at what I had pulled out I threw it at the counter for them to heat up again thanks to the low service standards at costa I was not asked any additional questions this is going well I thought.

What would you like to drink my heart sank but I somehow snatched my thoughts and said something cold the mango one.

it was like a miricle to be honest I’m now sat down consuming said sandwich and beverage with a small feeling of success.

Heck yeah! Small wins is what it’s all about. You navigated your way through obstacles and lived the tell the tale, you deserve to feel proud of that. What some people take for granted, is a big deal for many others of us. Keep it up and keep acknowledging all your successes - big or small. Even if you have a setback in the future - be generous with self forgiveness and try once again next time!

And hopefully you enjoyed your meal :)
