One never climbs the mountain of truth in vain.

I may have been born with certain personality traits, but kindness is my choice.

It's also my choice to occasionally eat ice cream smothered in maple syrup and chococlate chips while watching Krypton and using my foam roller as a foot rest.

... all that working out and watching what I eat and saving money. You gotta let loose once in while.

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. - Buddha

One of my morning affirmations I ran across today: You are capable enough, You are strong enough, You are beautiful enough...You are enough.

Jul 01, 2019 at 10:16 AM

I am just grateful for existing, for being human. If I dedicate myself to it, I can move mountains and do miracles. Without the help of God, if you will. But with the help of the scientific method. I will be thrilled to see a future where everyone's world is just at least a little better.

Although I feel really awful today, a pair of bluebirds in my backyard birdhouse are feeding their nestlings, hatched 2 days ago, and somewhere in my depression fog I know they are beautiful.

Thank you. That's touching.

And I see it's your second post, so welcome to PsychCentral.

I’ve waited on my daughter for an hour at Target and it’s raining now. I just got out of the car and started dancing in the rain! We are parked in a remote row. I’m filled with joy but man will she be mad about her wet interior. I know, I know...I’ve lost it but what fun! Btw, I dance in the rain every chance I get.

I'll be thankful if I get a good sleep, it's hard to be thankful when down but there is much to be grateful for. Many people go hungry and homeless.. so I shouldn't complain

My love for life, the fact that I appreciate life to a great extent, is what that drives me to become a life scientist.

Thanks Jennifer

I can't think of anything to say, but I do appreciate this.

Please try not to be so hard on yourself. Hurt is hurt. It doesn't diminish your recognition and care for the plight of others.

It's strange how this works, Marenbird. I've had similar experiences so many times when I was feeling terribly unhappy. Once it was a red rose growing in my backyard. It's almost as if it's another part of our consciousness taking hold and connecting with something beautiful in the world around us. I find that during those rare times when my energy starts flowing, say if I'm working on a task and I'm getting into it, that it's almost coming from another part of my consciousness that's getting the task done. At that point there's no self-criticism, no discouragement, just perception and action. Perhaps it's another part of our consciousness entirely that can see, perceive, appreciate, and do those things.

Many hugs to all of us who are struggling and trying to get along.

Something I need to hear, "You're doing the best that you can and that's all that you can do."

Thank you for posting your uplifting news Mopey. Nature does not judge us but invites us to relax with the simple pleasures of life.

1. I feel joy and contentment at this moment right now.

2. I awaken in the morning feeling happy and enthusiastic about life.

3. I can tap into a wellspring of inner happiness anytime I wish.

CepheidVariable · Jul 03, 2019 at 02:07 PM

It's very nice being able to keep the windows open.

I am rising above every obstacle (morning affirmation).
