1, 2, 3!

[Jazzy]

Appreciation: I appreciate that after everything I've been through, I'm still a good, or at least caring person.
Emotion: I felt proud of myself today for all the things I've gotten done.
Accomplishment: After years of ignoring it, I figured out why my fridge is making a ticking sound 24/7, and helped reduce it quite a bit.

[Armadillo]

These are so beautiful to read!

Appreciation: I'm going to copy Jazzy's. Plus 1 to being good and caring, despite.

Emotion: Peaceful. I'm feeling exceptionally peaceful lately. Present. Joyful.

Appreciation: A year ago I stole a neglected withering plant from a city planter and planted it in my garden. It was almost dead and 5 inches tall. Now it is hip high and full of flowers.

[Eidolon]

Appreciation: I am proud of my resilience.
Emotion: Feeling comfortable and slightly less hypervigilant than usual.
Accomplishment: I cried today. I'm thawing! Also, I watered plants.

I missed yesterday because it was my birthday. LOL Today is just starting, but here's a double to make up for it.

Yesterday
Appreciation: I was able to accept the love and well-wishes of friends and chosen family.
Emotion: It was generally a cheerful day, I was happy. I did feel overwhelmed at one point because I got a visa gift card, and can't decide what to spend it on due to too many choices.
Accomplishment: I managed to eat healthy meals to somewhat offset the iced coffee in the morning and boba tea in the afternoon.

Today so far:
Appreciation: I am glad I have the opportunity and resources to be able to start healing at this point in my life.
Emotion: Still good from yesterday, just kind of a pleasant contentment as I write and have my cafecito.
Accomplishment: I brushed my hair and fed the cats.

Reading these still makes me smile. Thanks Jazzy!

Appreciation:
I was really truly able to support my friend going through a rough time and in doing so also prove to myself that on the main trauma and it's many arms, I am 99% healed.

Emotion:
Relief, sadness, excitement, fear because I'm starting to have a few memories that feel like memories instead of some fact that I memorized. I bet most people wouldn't get that but I think a lot of you might know what I mean.

Accomplishment:
I went running with my friend needing support and worked pretty hard (I used to run marathons, now running more than 3 minutes without walking is hard!).  I also instigated a trip to the beach with my son and his two friends and their mom I am close friends with.

Happy birthday CactusFlower!  All the best to you in the year to come!  Also, it's okay... I missed yesterday too.

Appreciation: I appreciate that I'm able to continue to learn more about how my mind works, and make changes based on what I learn to keep improving.
Emotion: I felt very encouraged today from my actions both towards myself, and others. I also feel vulnerable because I got some negative feedback, but I'm trying to believe it is because of their choices, and not a good reflection of my value as a person. I did my best to react positively, and while I probably could have done better, I did a great job compared to how I would have handled it (dissociating) in the past.
Accomplishment: Well, my ramblings above cover this too, but here's another. Someone explained something to me this morning which I was struggling to understand, then this evening I was able to return the favour and help them understand something else. Being able to connect with someone like that (mutually beneficial), is a massive accomplishment for me.

Appreciation: I am strong and continue to show up and work toward my dreams

Emotion: I felt sad and angry and hurt because of conflict with my husband, coworkers, and work in general.  I also felt worried about my cat because she didn't seem well this morning. 

Accomplishment: I gave students I work with my presence today

[CactusFlower]

Thanks, Jazzy!

Appreciation: I am in a safe enough place to do the healing work finally. I am doing what I can handle.

Emotion: I was highly amused this morning when I realized there are at least two generations that won't understand why naming a frog character in a video game "Jeremiah" is funny.

Accomplishment: I picked up some dirty laundry and took my calcium supplement.

[Eidolon]

Appreciation: I'm going to be able to return home hopefully soon, pleased with my calmness about it.
Emotion: Somewhat numb with bits of happiness here and there.
Accomplishment: I have an appointment today!

[Jazzy]

Appreciation: I appreciate that I am able to develop my artistic skills a bit. A bit is much more than I've ever been able to do before.
Emotion: I mostly feel accomplished today. I got a lot of things done.
Accomplishment: I bought one treat when I went grocery shopping today, which is healthy-ish for a treat, but still very rewarding (sweet). I think this is a good balance for me.
