What did you do right today?

I went to group and then to a friend's house. It kept my mind off the negative thoughts that have been racing through my head.

(((((((((((((((((butrrifli))))))

Started an exercise program by walking up and down the stairs (17) ten times. Take care!

Well done!!!! ((((((((Ygrec)))))) That's great!!!

I finished my Christmas shopping this evening!!

i set a goal, and i'm working towards it , every day~ best wishes to you all, and

That's wonderful!! ((((((((((((Gus)))))))))))))))

I chose some good gifts for my husband and he was really happy with them

Opened gifts with daughter then went back to bed when she left.

Yesterday I went to a Christmas dinner at a family friend's house even though I didn't feel like socializing. I was talking about how bad my legs hurt last night with my dad who asked, "what are you going to do about it." At that point I proceeded to fall over into the dryer (legs gave out). I did not respond with a nasty comment when my dad laughed and said "well, that's something but I don't think it's going to help." Instead I chose to take a bath and massage my legs.

Today I slept in because I'm not feeling good (even though I know it's likely to cost me my job on the mountain). I decided taking care of myself was more important. I called and scheduled myself a massage for today (caught myself feeling sorry for myself for being sick and hurting - my legs are so sore I can barely walk). So I'm trying to take positive steps to take care of myself regardless of outside consequences.

even though i dont feel good i took daughter visiting probably spread my germs oh well this was a big thing 4 me cuz im in the isolate mode

Well, I wrapped a late present and unpacked today. I guess I didn't do much right today, but it's a start!

Went to lunch with my parents then went to church this evening.

((((((((Kitty)))))))))) I'm so sorry you're having trouble with your legs. Well done for taking care of yourself and I really hope you feel better soon.

Hope you feel better soon too (((((trixie)))))

I went to my in-laws for a gift exchange and get-together. It went well.

I stood up for my brother-in-law when my mother was making snide remarks about him in front of his face!

I went to work on the mountain and worked all day... taught skiing in my tennis shoes lol

I came here.

I have been very sociable over the Holidays and I have enjoyed most of the get-togethers!

I called my friend oversees to wish her a happy birthday

I picked out a book just for fun and read it, but I also did some work around the house, so I feel a sense of accomplishment.

Reached out to my support system.

I have not been feeling great lately. So I have not written here. Nor have I been doing much to write about on those days I have attempted to post here. But I did put up a little 3 foot christmas tree. Thats huge for me considering I have not done that for 2 or 3 years. someone suggested it. I told her that I am not ready yet to resume putting up trees. But my own words haunted me. Until the next morning when I just put up a small tree and put lights and some flowers and balls on it. I am enjoying having it in my bedroom even though it took the spot that was dedicated to my humidifer, which now is likely angry about the entire situation. Probably is saying, I work so hard for her, and then she throws me aside when something prettier and shinier comes along. Anyway, I put up a little tree several days ago. Now I have to go water my plant before it droops further.

I have read a portion of the replies to this thread (not all!) and have hesitated in participating as I feel I have had nothing to report. My world is a shattered place these days. But I think I did something good today, in this alien landscape I once knew: my mom and I went for a walk. It's freezing here, and the mountainous remains of a blizzard have overtaken the sidewalks and streets. It was the first time I ventured outside since I arrived home--that's one full week.

Also, I ate a little more today than the meager portions I've been consuming. All healthy foods. I don't think I intended this stuff to happen. It just...did.

I just found this post and thought it is worth my time. I really struggle to say things good about myself. Today I did the right thing by being there for a friend and making myself go to work.

That's so great everyone!!!

(((((((((((sunsetsunrise)))))))))))) It's great to see you here again! Well done for putting up a tree!

Hi (((((((Nola))))))) Welcome! Going outside for a walk is a huge accomplishment!!

So is being there for a friend and going to work!! ((((((((PleaseHelp))))))))))

I replied to a bunch of emails that I had been procrastinating about. It really didn't take long at all to write the replies once I got started!

I joined a gym! I am really excited to start my new fitness routine, happy new year!!

I just wanted to thank you, sundog--I really needed to hear/read what you said. I need all the encouragement I can get these days.

To contribute to the thread, went shopping with my mom and carried home her groceries today. Walked some more after that.

I can't believe how much effort it takes to accomplish these things I moaned and groaned about before, or that I completely took for granted as mere errands or distractions.
