What Made You Happy Today?

I'm stronger now.

That is most definitely something to be happy about. :hug:

I got to see the family today. I have some very nice pictures of my youngest nephew and myself (I don't like pictures of myself but for these, I can make an acception), I played with some younger cousins who I only see annually, and I got to see my nieces and nephews again before I go back home.

Oh, I am also happy that I was able to help my cousin's son through a meltdown. The child comes from a home where his mother (my cousin) was abused by his father--for some reason I am one of the few in the family who doesn't consider him a bad kid, because he isn't, he just doesn't know how to react to his environment.
 
I am feeling happy because I took care of myself emotionally and also got out and had a walk.

I had a cry and then a nap/relax on the couch with the dvds in the background. I comforted myself. I was all wrapped up and I felt soothed. Something shifted. I was going to push myself but I decided to just sit for a bit and not push myself into dissociation.

So I let myself sit for a bit then I felt a bit better. So then I went for a walk for an hour and 40 minutes in the local nature reserve. It was good.

It was more of a balanced approach.

Whilst I was walking in the reserve I had a few weeps. I kept walking and it was nice near the sea and in the trees. There were lots of birds about.

I was happy to see all the different birds.

I'm so glad dear Ms Spock!!! **Hugs!!**

That's so great that you didn't push yourself as soon as you started feeling better! :tup: I have to watch out for that myself! To ease gently into activity instead of jumping off the couch and running about!:facepalm: Your balanced approach sounds good! How wonderful that you saw all sorts of birdies on your walk!!!:whistling::singing::)
 
I got my sign language cards today. My T is going to be very happy that I got them because I can help her learn them; learning signs for emotions was my "homework" because the house I was raised in didn't allow for much emotion so now I'm having to learn these things. I love sign language so it makes me really happy to have very clear flash cards I can use to practice.

I'm in a bit of a mood right now from something mother said but I do feel better after seeing the many things you all have to be happy about, thank you guys.
