It's here, it's the 15th of June, the sun is shining (sort of), and it's another day of fine living.
It's easy to see the world as a dark and terrible place after experiences like ours, but the world is still as it was, and things can still roll your way.
So I defy you to come up with some things today that you're pleased about. Doesn't just have to be today, anything recent is good!
For example, last night I went to see some friends at the pub, I made it all the way through, had a couple of beers, and it was all in all a great night. Felt like the old days, and it felt like that they're still possible now.
See? Easy enough, post away!

Went shopping with my son and daughter, no mean feat, but had some laughs and it does feel good to do the normal things, today is my friends 80th birthday so lunch out coming up too
Hmm, I think that this counts. Headway suggested that I started reading, among other tasks, and the first book I picked up was one of letters to the editor of the Telegraph, where I learned to not stand behind Satan at the Post Office as the Devil takes many forms. Probably a very old joke but it still is making me laugh a couple of days on.

Every day I wake up, my first thought is "great" another day, what can we do today. My life has turned up some nasty moments, and there have been times when I felt that I would never laugh again. But I have never felt like chucking it all in. Life is what you make of it, madness is only a state of mind.
I have been really enjoying getting out into my garden. Have never really been a gardener before (ex husband was a gardener professionally and used to poo poo all my ideas but never did anything much himself bar mow the grass). So today my "good thing" is that I can see some green shoots starting to come up in the pots I planted with salad leaves. Looking forward to eating them soon
had a 10 year recovery from a mild traumatic brain injury. has been more of an endurance alone but seeing all the you tube etc can see its quite common to have been someone and lose everything 20's to 40's is quite a gap when you cant imagine or have hopes for your future. today is square one for me. feel ok, alot better but where do you start without all that educational skill you aquired over life. I suppose its about finding things you can do and hoping people will like you just as much. without the easy identity most people are when meeting people.
To be honest, every day I keep thinking how lucky I am. My balance is far from perfect, but I cope, fine; I am officially 'blind', but I'd just say I'm partially-sighted (although I most certainly can't drive anymore); my speech sounds blurred to me, but everyone else says it is fine (and hey, I am a university lecturer, and there have been no complaints from the students!). I constantly think well, I was unlucky to have that accident in 2005, but I am really lucky to have recovered as well as I have done.
Today's 'lucky' thing is, hey, I went into town, and coming home on the bus was free. I get money off my train tickets, with my 'Disabled Person's Railcard'; and I have a disabled card for the buses, so they are free.
