I think this is a great idea! I focus SO much on the negative and forget to look at the positive.
Thank you for posting!

I am so glad it is useful to you  :cheer: Feel free to post on here as much as is useful. I certainly do a lot. Speaking of here are mine for the morning.

1. I feel good because I took the time to straighten my hair
2. They brought Kolaches for food today.
3. The office is full of positive buzzing

Lots of pain and anxiety lately; seeing the good seems elusive, but it's there and worth looking for (and usually finding, without much effort)...in my case,

1. I'm loving the comfotably warm (but not hot :cheer:) days, cool nights in these parts...ideal in my book.

2. Got to use my newly cleaned porch; the cat loves it too. It's back to where it should be--an ambient and meditative space.

3. Loons are active lately, and always toot a greeting when flying over, as well as doing their on-water talks and songs.

That sounds great, woodsgnome!

Mine for today:

1) Very useful therapy session today, really went deep.
2) Went wading in a lake after T and talked to the ducks and coots
3) I've been automatically singing healing songs in my head half the day since T

I need this today, so here is what I can do.
1. I got out of bed and went to work
2. The kindness of my friends
3. I am choosing to fight

I so need this today too:
1) I gave my pet her meds
2) I managed to signal to her via ??? that I wasn't accepting any wriggling, struggling or escape attempts
3) One client cancelled
4) I had a long nap
5) We have this site

Here's these for this morning,
1. I made it to work on time
2. I am kind to myself not angry today
3. yummy rice with sugar and butter breakfast

Vacation took all my energy and time, but I am back. Here are three good things today.
1. I got up and to work on time
2. I feel a bit more able to cope after vacation
3. My coworkers were excited to see me again

Mine for today:
I'm not sick in bed any more, but not working again yet either.
Spent lots of the day in the garden with my animals, gazing at them running around having fun (watching my animals is always good for me)
A major lightbulb effect thanks to a comment on here to me earlier today.

Mine for today:
1) Spent an enjoyable afternoon playing board games
2) In a threesome, one person was telling a long, convoluted story all about how terribly an old friend of hers had treated her. After about 15 minutes (with no sign of stopping) I managed to say to her that it was just too much for me listening for so long to all this negativity, especially since the other person had stepped outside to have a quick smoke. I realised that the talker was upset and needed to tell someone but I also took my own feelings into account - it was too much for me! It was much harder for me to say so, since I wasn't the only person in the room other than the talker.
3) All that cutting-back and herb-gathering I did in the garden (See The Cafe / The Potting Shed)

Thanks for posting in her Blueberry. It reminds me to do this

1. I made it to work on time
2. My cat was amazing to me this morning
3. I can choose to take the night for myself after work

Wife#2

1) my friend who has been out on medical leave is back!
2) my husband, who is justifiably upset with me lately, got up this morning with me and accepted my hug.
3) The image of a 'healing porch' on this website has really taken off and helped people through rough or lonely days.

Elphanigh, thank you for this thread. It has helped to get me back into a proper alignment in my heart many days.

Wife2, I am glad this thread has helped you. I am grateful I can offer something that helps people.
