happy

I have settled down at work, busy but productive.  Am no longer stressed.
Am enjoying boss being back.

Had a good chat with my mentor, & got some plans & direction for the next few weeks - well til the end of September.  Am thankful for the reminder of the good I have, the things I enjoy.  I have coping mechanisms in place, & I should go to them sooner if I ever get stressed again.  I also have friends I enjoy time with.

me day

a me day, a day to relax, & recharge, & enjoy my favourite things.

I slept well, & had a lazy morning.  Lying in bed playing choose-your-own-adventure book.
Husband fed me well, as always, & willingly.
I got my 10k steps in (on target for 15k!), & had a lovely chat with friend - she's up for exercise anytime, I need to remember that.

& I enjoyed the keyboard, I can still get a tune out, & I found the books easily.

Lots of things I enjoyed, & hopefully the body balance had the desired effect on my neck.

support

I have lots of support to take advantage of,
husband has been so sweet & considerate.  & today he bought me a keyboard to play with - I used to love playing the old one.  Now I just need to brave the loft to find some of the music books...

There's no pressure, I don't need to do anything.  So I choose what to do.  Tomorrow is a me day, I shall indulge my hobbies.  I made it to wing chun seminar today, & enjoyed it, & knew my limits.

I have so many fun things around me, & so many people.  I had a good night out with a friend last night, & husband joined us for wine.  I even avoided much of a hangover.  & Thursday (when I was looking forward to a drink so I thought it was Friday) I got an invite to the pub, & a walk & talk with a friend.

I have friends that understand how conversation work, that are interested in what I'm saying.  How are you cos they want to know rather than because that's the lead in to them telling.I have a few of the elf help books now, I think they're great.  Husband has got me great gifts over the years, so I have all manner of pens & pencils (& crayons even) to be colouring with.

& now I have choose your own adventure books, & I'm looking forward to playing them :-)

appreciation

today I am thinking of all the things I'm thankful for that are easy to take forgranted.

I have switched rooms so I can sleep better. 
I have a safe, warm place to sleep, access to clean clothes and water, food in the kitchen and entertainment around me.  Friends and family around me.
A job I enjoy and am good at.

friends

thankful for friends to cheer me up, to chill with, to enjoy time with.
Went back to the beach & the exercise machines.  Blessed with great beaches nearby, & those outdoor exercise machines.  Plus the health to be able to use & enjoy them.

A great dinner with my friend.  Cooked specially for me, spot on.  So glad I enjoyed it.

health & mood

I have been in a great mood the past couple of days, it even lasted through the day at work. 
I have been printing out inspirational quotes, & colouring them in - I love doing that.  & have found a yoga instructor I like on youtube.

The walk was good yesterday, I enjoyed the pace.  Great plans for the rest of the week too, the cheesecake hunt, the exercise machines, a walk with a friend tomorrow...
Yep, I am happy :-)

hobbies

It's been a while, the best bit about these is that you can pick them up whenever you want.
I have been enjoying the swings at lunch so much that I bought myself one.  I am in a much better mood now, I'm wondering what all the fuss was about.
& a walk today.  & colouring inspirational quotes yesterday.

I even picked up the guitar & got a few riffs out of it.  So mnay things I can do.  A day full of very little yesterday, exactly what I needed.  Time and space to heal.
