Three Good Things Today (Part 9)

[Blueberry]

1) I really enjoyed choir practice tonight.

2) Tho I haven't been to choir practice since before the summer break, there were still a number of people who waved and smiled when I came rushing into the room at the last minute. At least I wasn't actually late

3) Lovely sunny weather and a large tree across the road ablaze with yellowy-brown leaves when the sun's shining on it

4) I managed to run a number of errands today in the centre of town including farmer's market and delivering a belated birthday present to a friend up the hill from town centre. I suddenly felt I had the energy, so let's do this!

5) After a little chat with next door neighbour, I dared to do a little gardening again: dead-heading a rose with fairly small blossoms. It's still blooming pretty furiously but lots of beige dead-heads too, looks better now

6) I dared to just start, but also stop when I felt too tired and sore to continue, despite the fact that LL stipulates 'all or nothing'  tho not actually about dead-heading.

1) Zoom Group was helpful
2) Holding a stuffie under my chin
3) Lying warm in bed
4) Reading short biographies of women who were in many ways talented but also often depressed - it was interesting
5) Reading about language evolution esp. English language and allowing myself to find that interesting

1. Someone bought me a multiplayer game as a gift so we could play together. He spent money to spend more time with me. I'm wanted?
2. I've been doing a good job of staying off social media.
3. I've hit a 300 day streak in Duolingo.

1. I had a date and had fun. We visited a museum and had a drink. I agreed to it when I was in denial mode about my situation. I went. And understood I cannot possibly date in my current situation. And he may not fit me in a dating way. But we had fun nonetheless. And I could be normal for an afternoon.

2. My friend died. Which is obviously about the least positive thing there is. But I didn't contact him for a while. Then suddenly had an overwhelming urge to go see him. Because I sensed he was dying. I did. Could not reach him. And managed to trace him in hospital. With an amount of luck (I do not know his family and there's hefty privacy rules) that made me feel it was special. Anyway. Because of my instinct and that luck, we could still meet. And say goodbye. Which I value.

3. I could cry out with a colleague. We had a coffee and a chat. He was supportive.

1) The sun is shining, sky is blue, there's a touch of snow on the ground and autumn colours are still on some of the trees. Lovely

2) Seeing the sunshine helped me get on my bike for the first time in about 2 weeks and cycle into town centre to run a bunch of errands

3) I've done a bit of tidying and cleaning

1. The sun is shining here too. The sun on my back feels very soothing.
2. I've been noticing improvements in my mood since I've started avoiding social media and news.
3. I learned some things today.
