Share Something Positive from Your Day vs. It's All Around You

^ Good to hear.

I'm trying to swim as much as I can as it makes me peaceful and easygoing.
It made my day today!
 
I bought a homless man a burger today and he thanked me and then thanked God, looked me in the eyes and mumbled a prayer. It made me see that love is all around us, you just need to look for it.
 
I deactivated my facebook account yehey!!! I see this as something positive because IMO, social media is counter productive. Instead of people spending time with their friends and family they would usually log on facebook and look more on their phones than the people they are with. I am very happy that I dont have fb anymore.
 
@^ i kind of wish i could get out of the facebook rat race as well, but i think i would go out even less than i do because its how i hear about all the events my friends go to. but you have inspired me to re-install the news feed eradicator add-on, which i hope can reduce time mindlessly looking at other peoples lives.

it shows different quotes instead of the news feed, erik would appreciate ;)

I love FB. Living thousands of miles away from family it is the closest I can get to being there. I get to hear the humdrum thoughts that pass through their head as they can mine.

I cannot be there to hold a hand but I can be there in thought, heart and soul.

I've seen so much transpire in my absence. :( Births, deaths, health problems. Through it all we've managed to hold paws. Never letting go. Can't imagine the loss of that network.

Thanks Misterie! :)

I am trying to decrease the amount of time in FB. The problem is that I always take 5-10 minutes every morning to catch up with the 'news' my work colleagues have already acknowledged.
Last Thursday for instance I missed a fine dinner. By the time I read my home email-- too late.

Indeed people are more and more connected to social media specially if your work/friends' official websites are related and part of the job. :\

Yes exactly. One thing too is that, the most of the posts I see on fb are about self flattery and making other people jealous that I went here and there and ohh my hair is pretty yes Im fishing for compliments specially women. Sorry but its true!

On the other hand I am meeting my realtor today to get my keys to the condo I bought omg so excited!!! I cant wait to move!! My move is this coming Saturday and Im actually moving some of our stuff already tonight.

i saw my counselor today. i am really fortunate to have come across him because he is a truly compassionate, open, present, equanimous human being.

theres no one else i know irl who i can talk to about the things that are important to me, someone who can reassure me through doubts and thought traps i can get stuck in, its a blessing.
 
^ Must be good to have someone like that to talk to! :)
At work people sometimes are too competitive and - or gelous.

Relatives are great but intimacy sometimes can be tricky -- too much criticism.

Anyways, I'm leaving earlier today. Never thought a couple of hours could mean so much.

I just got off work but hey i got my keys to my condo!! Yehey!!
 
Mayita! Congratulations! Now I'm sad that you are not on FB because I want to see pictures!:) I'm so happy for you. I know just how badly you wanted this and how hard you have worked (are working) to get it.
 
mayita! that cracks me up

i reconnected with an old friend who i bumped into in the city, and i had a nice deep conversation with a room mate and an acquaintance who i also bumped into at the pub. it was interesting because i saw them sitting at the table and i said 'hi, what are you guys up to?', and i was about to make my exit, because i have a fear of not being loved or accepted, then the acquaintance said "do you wanna get a drink?" and it gave me an opening to do what i was to afraid to do, which i thought was really big of him, its pretty rare to come across people that will do something like that, usually they would assume that i think i am better than them or that i have some kind of dislike for them.

overall it was a really interesting and somewhat synchronistic (i think i made that word up) day. i saw the girl who i pretty much ditched who i became close to in mental health wards, it was pretty jarring, she was with her brother, and i felt i had to ignore because the last time i talked to her when i saw her, it scared me a bit how she acted with so much resentment or hate. i don't know why but she lives a long way away from me, and i think i have seen her randomly 3 or 4 times in the past year+, it is too strange.

that became a long stream of consciousness.

These things could be actually connected. We never know. Anyway it's nice to genuinely feel welcome! ;)

Today I was also leaving a sort of happy hour at my work when I was invited to stay longer. I thought to myself that it's probably me who think they wouldn't be pleased with my companion. What's not to like I wonder. Not that I feel I'm so much interesting, but to some people I really am.
 
Well, I would certainly invite both of you to a drink (except I don't really drink LOL). How about coffee?

Positive for me today: I get to practice Spanish with a friend.I'm sure that I sound like a complete idiot but the good part is that I aged out of feeling embarrassment a long time ago so I just open my mouth and speak my own mishmash of Spanglish. I wish we could just implant other languages in our heads!;)
 
Coffee would be just fine! Great actually as I drink it all the time. Thanks!

I noticed that when we are practising another language we tend always to feel like we are doing bad but for those who see you trying you are doing great!
It's always worse from our perspective imo. Don't let this stop you from continuing. :)

The positive thing about speaking languages is that you keep your mind sharp every time as you have to change the thinking logic back and forth. My suggestion is that you try to think in the language you are going to speak, regardless of the mistakes. They don't matter if you are in a learning process. ;)

Thanks Mommy Herby lol! I hope it all works out tomorrow!! It's my move day at 9 am so that means I gotta be up early to make sure I dont miss any calls from the truck company. There's so many things happening tomorrow: move in/out, meeting my ex-landlord to hand over the keys, the cable company setting up the cable in our condo then a 3 pm appointment. I am going to be sooo tired!!!! but hey not complaining at all! It's going to be a good day
