At last, a nice dog walk in the sun! My dog and I both lingered on the walk. Lovely.

So glad you shared this. I have been so grey lately, but your post reminded me that just when I give up hope, the example of someone else can revive it.

(((support))) I've been terrible with money -- never had a lot, but never figured out how to temper my "emotionally compelled" purchases or rather saving for unforeseeable mishaps. I've slowly gotten better about sticking to budgets, but the stress of it all is panic that always has me worry...

Today has been frustrating, depressing (without any real provocation for those feelings besides it being grey outside and below freezing). I don't like it when my spirit feels broken or just absent. After work I took a nap, but it didn't seem to help. Luckily, I convinced myself to do some...

No dog walk, but I did do a yoga session (I owe my dog big time).

I'm thankful that I keep trudging on even when I worry I'm at my wit's end.

Reaching 3pm with total exhaustion -- I've been productive most of the last five days, and I hate hitting a road block like fatigue.

-- I love and commit myself to the unconventional, too. I walked Sadie again: 28F and damp, grey. Yoga's next.

That's huge news cindymolly! Kudos! I'm thankful that my office computer is not on the fritz like I had thought it was when I left the office yesterday.

I realize that I avoid naps when I don't need to (as if they mean I am being "lazy"); I realize that they are signs I need to replenish my energies, and that, almost every time after a nap I find myself less angry and self-critical -- thereby allowing me to be even more productive.

As a teen I was choked by my father in a rageful fit, ever since having anyone come at my face/throat region is literally a breath-taking experience. I avoided any dental appointment from the age of 18 to 43 years of age. Finally, I had to make an economical decision to have what was left of...

After I did an EMDR session about abuse that occurred in my childhood and adolescence, that jerking ("abreactions" I think I was told they are) affected me a lot in the beginning -- sometimes several on a daily basis. Now, I only have them occasionally -- once a month during really stressful...

I'm thankful that... I have some of the same students I had last semester -- they're funny, hardworking sweethearts -- and the new-to-me students volunteered some questions in class today; the chair of our department is as understanding as she is professional; the rain has not been so heavy as...

I'm very "light core," but I did get some yoga in.

Congrats!
