Things for this morning
1. My apartment didn't feel completely empty when I woke up
2. A friend/coworker bought me my favorite coffee because she knows what I am going through with Sara leaving
3. I feel rested
4. The spots on my legs are not looking as bad anymore

1. It's a beautiful sunny day and warm.
2. My T is a bit of a distance away on a lovely lake shore so it felt a bit like being on holiday with the sun on the lake and people out rowing and sailing etc.
3. I went for a paddle in the lake. First paddle of the year.
4. Had a chat with a pair of ducks  ;)
5. Feel so much better and clearer after T.

Three good things for yesterday:

1) I didn't get picked for that jury
2) I didn't cry in the court room
3) My husband tried to be understanding

Three good things for today:

1) I got up, mostly on time.
2) Work has gone pretty smoothly.
3) Being busy at work has meant less flashbacks today.

Another couple:
I went for an organised bike ride this evening and although it was pretty strenuous I'm now feeling a lot better physically and emotionally. Even my head is clearer.
I'm back to wanting to do things rather than trying to force myself.

Three Good Things Today:
1. another lovely sunny warm day right on into the evening
2. I picked some flowers like dandelions and daisies to decorate my apartment and office.
3. Spent some time in the garden with my Little Critters and while they 'grazed' I picked weeds for dinner, which is a kind of medidative task.
4. I'm back in a phase of getting some things done.
5. I feel moved, heartened and supported at all the replies coming into my Having a Bad Day post on not being able to work much + all that criticism from FOO.

Three Good Things Today
1. I allowed myself to do a lot of teaching prep of a fun variety (I'm pretty sure my Inner Children were involved)
2. I realised that I wasn't getting out of bed this morning because of a fairly small item on my Could Do list, which was however stressing me out. So I told myself I wouldn't do it, I didn't need to. Then I was able to get up.
3. I was able to do a little cleaning and tidying today.

Three Good Things Today:
1. I had a long phone call with a good friend. We kept missing each other in the past few days, so it was good that we finally found a time we could both talk.
2. My cleaning and tidying was more methodical today, which is a good sign. The more methodical, the less EF.
3. I have a candle burning, i.e. I bothered to light it for myself.
4. Making myself spanakopita with weeds instead of spinach. I enjoyed the preparation, which I do not at all often when cooking, and it tasted delicious and I have this good feeling about picking rather than buying some of my food.

Good things today

1. I finally made my housephone.
2. My cat and the neighbourcats playing together, so sweet to watch.
3. I felt the sun and a nice breeze on my face.

It warms my heart to see you guys still using this thread. I thought it might be useless when I posted it... I haven't been on for a few days but here are mine today.

1. I have practiced better self talk today
2. I cleaned around the house
3. I came on here and felt nothing but love and support

Things have been truly hard, but it is so good to see this post getting use. It also reminds me to do it as well

I am going to do this earlier today, to get a good start.

1. I found out I have a much easier work load this week
2. I am still able to ground myself this morning
3. I can tell myself I have strength today and actually believe it.

1. I enjoyed having my window open with fresh air and the sounds of birds coming in.
2. I realised something must've triggered me because I didn't want to get up and stay up, so I didn't, just allowed myself to go back to bed and read and doze until I really had to get up.
3. I taught well this evening and enjoyed teaching the lesson.

Min. 3 Good Things in last few days:
1. Had another cleaning and tidying spree today
2. Yesterday when I brought my laundry in from the garden it smelled so fresh, almost sweet! It was amazing. It still smelt that way while I was folding it up and putting it away.
3. I brought some more fresh garden flowers into my apartment yesterday.

The rest of the good stuff I can think of off-hand is in my other recent posts.

I haven't been here in a while, hit a hard spot. Still, I'm back....

1) Son and I got up extra early today. It made the morning nice and relaxed.
2) Solved two problems that have been sitting on my desk a while.
3) Found the missing paperwork so my work will be very well completed today.
