What Made You Happy Today?

You have awesome kids, Lizio!

I am happy there is no ice on the roads today so I can run my errands. I am happy that 3 friends volunteered to go with me to the neurosurgeon.

Talking to my sister though some of it was sad. It made me happy to connect with her.

My medications are supposed to be ready for when I go to the doctor. I sure hope so. That made me happy.

Yesterday and today I had some happy hours during the day. I did not get stuck in the guilt trap (the feeling guilt, not the actually having guilt), my mood was good, I didn't fall into 'any holes in the sidewalk' and didn't even trip but saw them and went around them. Today that was a real good experience.

I made it through this day ok. I did it. It was touch and go fighting an anxiety attack. I won out. I managed to drive the distance I had to go. Now two more times of doing that.

I don't know if I'm actually feeling the happiness but I am very, very glad I have the support system I do at school right now. I just got some of the hardest news this evening and I am grateful that someone walked with me to a session with my counselor. I don't think I could handle things right now without the wonderful people I know.

I think gratitude could be a form of happiness, because it is a good feeling to know that there are people who love me here.

I'm sorry you received bad news Ayasha. :hug: I'm happy you have supportive people around you.

Me too Gizmo. I'm happy about that as well. :)

I talked to a forum friend on skype tonight. It was great. My first experience on skype. I need to talk my daughter into this. So I can visit with the grandchildren.

I was so happy to be in the ocean. It is so refreshing.

Debating with my son who is the best super hero. He insists it is Batman, I insist it is Superman. Batman is just a man dressed in a bat suite with lots of gadgets. Superman has super power strengths and he can fly and he is gorgeous to look at to boot :inlove: My son was not convinced.

Plus I finally finished a book. It has taken months but I finally finished reading Alan Alda's autobiography. How could I not read a book whose opening lines start with

"My mother did not try to stab my father until I was six

Normally I give up on books half way through, but I persisted with this one because there is something about his outlook on life. I'm glad I persisted. Last lines of the book something I should aim for (hope it is ok to quote):

Freud said that life is all about being able to love and to work. And I think it is about those things. But it's also about play. Play can bring back the past, but even if it doesn't, play is now; play is fun. More than ever, I have the feeling that all of what we do that counts is just love work and play. And for me, because it makes the other two even better, the best of these is play.

Wise words. I feel I do love but I have had precious little love back, apart from my kids. All those who were supposed to love me abused me. I have lost my ability to work having lost most of my confidence in anything I do and, most importantly, I lost that ability to play; even in my childhood, that was suppressed. But I guess that is something to aim for.

Talking with my cousin's daughter on fb and finding out she was doing well.(her mother passed away a few years ago from an aneurysm).

Husband bringing me a folded scone and a cappuccino when he had to come home briefly to get something for the office.

It made me happy to have such a good day. I hope today will be a good day too.
