Any Small Positive Statement

Yesterday I thought I was having a bad day until I came upon a car accident. The two drivers involved were REALLY having a bad day. So, my small positive statement is: I am a lucky duck even when I don't realize it!

(Maybe not such a small statement? )

Today has been a glorious day and my dental procedure went smashingly well.

Fluidity.

I love everyone who cares about others.

I learnt that it's nice to be alone sometimes... even if it means almost your entire life, haha.

Today is a sunny day.

I've just gotten over a cold but still feel weak. However, I went to exercise class and struggled through. Even doing less, it was exhausting. But even with much lower results, I *do* feel physically and mentally better for the effort.

As someone once said to me, "If you would berate yourself for not doing it, it's only fair to yourself to feel good about getting it done."

This thread... wow.. brings back memories.

Anon was also one of my best friends here

I wish I had the gift of bringing people together in harmony

“Ebony and Ivory.... why can’t we

As well as accepting people as is

What can I say? I wish I could get the balance “right”

Trusting / not trusting

((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))

I’m currently second guessing every post and deleting more posts
Is that positive? Maybe not

Dorothy Rowe said that allowing a spectrum of feelings brings people together
There are no “bad” feelings
At least I think that was what she was wanting to say

My positive is a lovely card from a special friend here by my iPad

My piano teacher is wonderful and awesome. It's not so much about her technique as the connection and the music.

(Personally -- more beneficial than trained psychotherapists and far cheaper. )

I fifth and sixth guess all my posts.

There are worse things ... but I know it's distressing because of what underlies it, so hugs.



... and I don't want to make a fuss or a big deal out of it in case in makes her uncomfortable ...

... but ...

Hugs from Purple!
Thank you!

Listening to a song with an upbeat but sweet, positive feel today.

Music has the ability to share and evoke emotion so powerfully across times, places, and lives. Sometimes I can sit there and feel the music and think what an unusual and wonderful thing that is.

The question of 'How can I just pull through?' is lingering in my mind A LOT. See, today was the last day of my BSc first year. It ended with my lab exam this afternoon. I feel lonely. Because, the friends I have known for a whole academic year, will start seeing me less and less often because I am opting for different subject and they are opting for a different subject. Although we still have two mutually overlapping subjects, it's very unlikely I'll see them in the lab or the classroom because of the fact I simply don't know what division and batch they will get and what division and batch I will get...

It's so painful, maybe it's the end of our friendship as we know it. It was ONE AMAZING thing to know how awesome people can be. Sure, there may have been flaws here and there about their behavior towards me, but then again how can you expect a cinematic relationship with people in this world?

My friend circle had like three closest friends (the number was later reduced to two) but I also had great friendships with many other people. So I'd say I have had about ten to twenty good friends I met at the start of this academic year and the BSc course.


Also, my lack of friends isn't the only powerful reason preventing me from enjoying my academic life. It's my illness also. It gives me a massive doubt I can do a feat such as getting a PhD and the stuff I want to do after it, also gives me a panic attack. How am I supposed to pull through?

I am also going through a heartbreak over a romantic relationship.

I have no idea how many new people I will meet after I get into second year. And I have no idea how their behavior will be towards me. But I'll hope for the best.


I feel so beaten up. But I will try my best.

It’s a beautiful day and there is a large snowball bush in the backyard. I carefully cut huge blossoms off and have them sitting in a vase beside me.

You passed your year, you made a few close friends and many casual friends, and you had a romantic relationship. I'd say you did awesome.

Try to let the positive in.

Also, stay focused on your immediate tasks. You don't have to do it all at once. Just one year at a time.

Sounds lovely.

Thanks for the heads up. I think positive thinking may do it. It may just be my antidote. I will never know before trying.

When you find the right people, it's okay to ask for help.

Made some tea for my husband this morning, Constant Comment. I LOVE the spicy fragrance of the new, unused teabag. (Probably anathema to a true tea aficionado....)

I had a hug today.

several hugs, in fact

and hugs are important to me

Important Hug for raging vortex --->


"Important hugs" for everyone, because we could all use them.
