In such a bad headspace today that I need to do this...
1. My supportive DH. 2. My parents who help us out so much. 3. My beautiful home. 4. My animals who bring me comfort and joy. 5. A stable job. 6. A PhD program that gives me purpose. 7. Holiday break around the corner. 8. Peloton workouts to keep me sane and get me in shape. 9. My DH's family who are also very supportive and kind. 10. This year's no-gift Christmas (I'm crazy, I know, but gifting stresses me out!).
@fameonmain2 Sensing you positive energy & internet hugs. ☀️ 💗 ☀️ Hope the day gets better for you!
1. The infinite possibilities of the Universe 2. Seeing “the Christmas Star” yesterday ⭐️ 3. DH cutting me some flowers from the neighbor’s yard for my Christmas bouquet😊 4. This gorgeous sunny day after clouds & rain 5. My family 6. Great job opportunities 7. Financial blessings 8. Our cute home decked out for the holidays 9. The luxury that living in America provides everyday 10. The privileges of fresh food & clean water
2. My cat Gir who has been ridiculously adorable lately
3. A roof over our heads
4. The very real potential to have a major renovation for half of our first floor in the next year or two...
5. .... And now the potential to have a partial reno of our basement included in #4's reno to accommodate DH's next hobby of saltwater reef tanks 😅 6. Warm and cozy clothes 7. Finally having a grasp on inserting my menstrual cup 😂 8. Feeling truly anxiety free for the last few weeks 9. Finding more permanent homes for items in our house instead of leaving things a bit hodge podged. 10. WFH and the many perks it has brought - get to wake up later, my desk sits in front of the window so I see the sun on days it is out, and I see and have lunch with DH every day.
