Today I feel that I have a lot to be grateful for, excited about, and to celebrate. It's not just today, but I'm feeling it today.

1.) I have been making my own choices about what to do with my life. Some things were hard to say no to, especially because people were rooting for me. But some things didn't feel right for me in my gut, and I said no, and have no regrets. 2.) I am currently getting career counseling and it is helping. I decided to take a class in my community, related to a job interest of mine, and I'm really excited about it. It starts soon. 3.) I've also been in contact with my previous supervisor at the nursing home, and I will be volunteering there later this week. It feels so good to know she hasn't given up on me, and it does feel nice to volunteer there, despite how it doesn't feel like the perfect fit. It's ok. 4.) I'm going to church more, and I religiously go to meditation group beforehand every Sunday. I've been feeling more connected! 5.) I grew a thicker skin where online dating has been concerned, and while I'm still on OkC and POF, I've deactivated both my profiles because I truly don't feel that need it anymore. However, it had been GREAT to have men interested in me, men who were just regular people, and MANY of them did not mind that I do not work. A lot were pretty understanding. It all started around the time I started to accept myself in that situation. 6.) I have a mood journal that my psychiatrist asked me to keep, and while I definitely have mood changes and swings around my menstruation cycle, keeping this journal has been very helpful in keeping me on track and aware of my moods!! I like it. 7.) I'm learning about intuitive eating, and am wanting to eat healthier / more veggies as well. This is all good stuff that I feel happy about!

Thanks for listening and have a great day
