Happy for you.
Many times you can get helpful input from whatever. It means you are awake, just ready to take the hints to learn. 👍

It’s funny because just yesterday I followed a piece of advise I read a couple of days ago related to how is a healthy nap.

I tried it yesterday and I fell into my short nap right away.
I don’t know why but it works out. Never tried it to sleep at night though.

It must be frustrating.
I hope, at least, people around you understand.

Have you ever practised Mindfulness. I’m asking from the un knowledge. I don’t know if it works out for people who find so hard to focus.
I know it works for me with all these about having lots of things in mind at the same time. Intrusive thoughts and things like that.

Not many people know about it or really understand how difficult it can be. I can read better now instead of losing focus and getting distracted so easily.


I'm starting my day with a routine of prayers and meditation, etc.

How are you doing today with everything?

This is good. Meditation changes your brain functioning and help you get some kind of piece of mind.

I’m doing ok. Just chilling out and cooking a little for the week. I was yesterday all day out so. Thanks for asking.

Grateful for quietness and the things I'm getting done despite not feeling like doing anything (exercises, laundry). I'm not giving in to despondency and self-hate :-S

I’m thankful for having my doggie Perla. She’s in her bed near the chimney after a necessary walk under the rain this morning.
She’s so comfortable that she didn’t want me to bother her. Just a while ago, I approached her to stroking her and she was like “Urrr”. 😂

I’m also grateful for Amazon. Guess how many people with mobility problems that can have their things delivered.
I’m cooking and I’m always very happy when I came back from the shops bringing fresh food so I’m grateful for all these people whose hard work make possible we all can go to the shops for good products.

I am thankful for pasta. I rarely eat but when I do, it is a special occasion.

Today I cooked high protein angel hair pasta with parmesan, pine nuts and Marinara sauce. It was very yummy and filling.

I am thankful for naps. They restore me to functioning after nights with insufficient or poor quality sleep.

Yes, I have eaten it with store-bought pesto sauce which was not the best. I am sure if I take the trouble to make my own, it will be utterly delicious!
