Dear raging vortex,

Thanks for posting this.

I like going for walks and observing all the little animals and creatures in nature: the ants busy foraging and building their ant hills, the moths and butterflies flying about, the little spiders building their webs, the various birds singing their little songs and swimming in the sky, the squirrels looking for food. It is also nice when walking to feel the wind on my face and the sunshine and to see and smell the beautiful flowers.

I hope many people will see and respond to your post with their self care ideas.

Best to you.

Sincerely yours, Yao Wen
Thanks for this!

It's from Bath and Body Works. It's a body spray actually. It's the Japanese Cherry Blossom scent. I love that scent.

Today I took a shower and washed my hair, and put on perfume. I'm doing self care by reaching out to people both in real life and online when I'm feeling unwell.

did what I should have done wednesday, sorted myself out- I couldn't go around smelling like that anymore, so showered, put perfume on, clean clothes, did my nails, basically made myself look (and smell) a bit more presentible

plus: I am going to mcdonalds drive through this afternoon and I don't want to stink out my friends car. lol

I walked outside and up the stairs. I dressed nicely today. I feel great. I am wearing my glasses but still feel fine. I take a shower at night. I also put on my makeup daily. I sleep a lot too.
I eat rather healthy.

I am trying to look better and will wear contacts tomorrow again.
