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

I'm noticing I'm being more self aware, and finding the capability of putting this is into perspective more than feeling it's all jumbled in my head - mostly with my vegetarian part of me etc.
 
^ That's great to hear Erik :) - I hope New Years exceeds your expectations too.

- My cat has finally learnt how to lay down on demand (he can do some other cool tricks too :) This one = particularly helpful!!)

- I've been on a mission to make hospital (slightly less) grim for others. So today, I took a massive sack of chocolate/ goodies around and offered them to every kid/ alone/ ill/ old/ vulnerable person I could see. I think it worked, (especially with the little ones!), even temporarily making them smile is better than nothing.
 
^ Helping others in situations like that is enlightening.
I once volunteered in a hospital just a couple of hours a week. I'd look forward for these days.

Today was a very positive day. Quite a full day but with most issues accomplished.
 
this is for yesterday, but i was riding through the parklands and i had been trying to feel into my gut to ground myself into my body instead of how i get lost in my head all the time. and i saw a guy walking alone the path coming in my direction and he looked like jesus i guess (or a hippy in the 60's). anyway as we crossed paths we connected eyes and his being emanated love from his smile and he said 'hello', i said hi and smiled back and it was one of those genuine feelings of connection i get sometimes with strangers who are really living in presence. it really made my day.
 
It's great when you are so opened that you can capture this moments.
IMO this is all about good energy. And you being yourself.

I'm glad the day is over and I'm going to rest.
 
Thanks Erikmen.. its not for a few days.. its a bloddy milesatone so im going to hold onto this denial as long as possible.


I was just seated next to a new mother on an airplane. Her baby started crying and she was so worried about its crying bothering other passengers she began to crumble hard and it was clear she was about to loose it.

Half the plane swooped to the rescue. Lady was blown away and as the total strangers she thought were ready to kill her ended up doing anything to help her. Most heart warming thing i have seen in quite awhile.

If the world worked together to colectively solve all our problems we might find ourselfs in a relative paradise.


Sitting in aspen... good lord they must have a factory that churns out fire girls all day long.. looking fantastic ladies♡

Still happy about the successful holidays!
Have collected a few sober holidays, but not as stronger as this one.
Hopefully 1 year in February.
One day at a time.

Still trotting along but I finally bit the bullet and made a doc. appointment. I sincerely don't want to live the way I've been so I need to do something - I don't necessarily agree with everything I am going forward with doing but it's the best alternative I guess considering the circumstances. Maybe in another place and/or another time I'd take the time to find natures natural cures, but right now I need to go the doc route.

(this is just a family doc, hopefully will get a month or so long script of adderall and/or a referral from there)

So close and yet so far! But you're almost there! I wont congratulate you but I will give you my best wishes!
 
Thanks, I guess.
I suppose we don't become ex-addicts, or ex-alcoholics. Do we?

I used to believe this was something that we could say to others.
The problems I had began when I started saying it to myself.

I'll live one day at the time. If that is what it takes, it's okay by me.
 
^ It seems you are doing better.

Today I'm having lunch with my daughter and her boyfriend. I like the way she involves in her private life.
She's basically an adult now. I'm so proud of her. :)
 
My new years resolution is to speak proficient in Spanish and a friend originally from Ecuador recommended watching TV in Spanish (among other things). I really like Greys Anatomy and watch it on repeat so in my search to find a Spanish audio version of Greys Anatomy with english subtitles, (because that makes sense..) I discovered that Shonda Rhimes the creator of Greys Anatomy made a Spanish version of Greys with the same plotline called A Corazon Abierto. So this is really great. Even better than expected.
