Recognising The Small Positives

[JustBe]

:tup: That's awesome! Recently I have had moments like that. Maybe someday... ;)

Today, I have had an amazing day. It is wonderful to remember what it is like to live without fear, dissociation, and flashbacks.

I am having a wonderful day. I got a few things done. I am feeling peaceful.

I am happy that my dog Belle follows me around. I love that. She waits for me. So I pet her. She jumps up to lick my face and play. She is so great to have around.

I am happy that my husband is doing so well today. We are having a very good day.:D

Kudos to you and your family, Gizmo.

A small positive: though I can't find where I stashed most of my light fall/winter clothing, I was smart enough to keep my favorite flannel shirt next to my summer long-sleeve shirts.

Today I was involved in helping a young woman who was unfortunately very unwell. I was also able, a few hours later, to tell a panicked mother exactly where her 'missing' daughter was and give her the hospital phone number.

I like it when we help folk.

A little frazzled emotionally, though.

 

[SweetPeaandSunBird]

That's a lovely thing that you did.

Since you're,

A little frazzled emotionally, though.

do something nice for yourself, too.

Well, not all that lovely; I was just doing my job, really. It makes me happy to help folk, but the frankly tragic circumstances that led to my talking to that family at all upset me a fair bit.

My 'nice' thing for myself was giving myself ten minutes to cry and get it out of my system for a change.

Glad you did that.

(Even though you were "just doing [your] job," you chose to continue working at it in a way that appreciates helping people. :tup: )

I thought there might be a thread for this already, but I can't find one so here goes. It's a place to celebrate the things that aren't big enough to go in the accomplishments Forum.

I did some work in the front garden, even though I'm scared that a neighbour might talk to me. Now the view through the window is improving.

I went to T yesterday even though I didn't want to go and had to spend the rest of the day in bed.

All semester I've been dreading being in charge of the Spanish film night: at night-time, in a different campus building, hoping the technology worked in the auditorium, walking on campus at night, etc.

Everything went off without a hitch.
