What did you do right today? Part 2

Picked caterpillar up from retreat. Went over to a "friends" house for lunch. Went to bell choir and vocal choir practice. Took another "friend" home.

Took a shower, dressed cute and took BF (a total homebody...) to see a big Halloween display.

I reconnected with some valuable friends.

DBT. work. cooked. didn't have a complete melt down

Got out of bed. Came to Psych Central. Stopped feeling sorry for myself.

Put make up on and wore decent clothes.

I gave a friend a ride to the store. Had a great time!!

I'm a great believer in cheering for small victories. Sometimes what may be the hardest things to make ourselves do are very non-glorious.

I am happy for everyone above who realizes they accomplished something good, no matter how ordinary a thing it might seem to an outsider. For you, at the time, it took real trying.

I hope that tomorrow I can keep trying for a little longer than I did today.

I am happy that you have recognized all of us, as we are "trying" to do our best in little ways.

I smile at someone when I felt like yelling at them. Yelling would have only create a problem that didn't need to be.

I laid down and took a nap that I needed so I wouln't be grumpy by evening time.

worked on a quilt; went out for groceries; told my dog I loved her; God allowed ex boyfriend to drive past my vision; acted out and felt the longing; the fear of overwhelming feelings; went home; took a nap; lite supper; laid one more tile on bathroom floor for empowerment; work is the opiate, work, work, work; just
don't feel what can't be. watched video clips from favorite flick. sent email to ask a friend how they were.

Completed the graphics on a brochure for a non-profit organization. Sent out some graphics to my friends at PC. Checked on my messages. Answered all my emails. Bought a new printer. Remembered to pray. Plan to watch the final(?) game of the WS.

I went to neurologist and was set up for a full spinal MRI and EMG work on my limbs. I had lunch with my son, who is in the same city as this doc. Came home and have been in touch with other son and done some things on PC.

Ran the dishwasher. That's all the energy I could muster--I had a medical emergency last night and ended up in the ER. So, taking care of myself is also a "do right today" answer.

Went to psych. Filled rx. Found an old cast iron pan, scrubbed the bejeebers out of it and am now seasoning it. (Oh, a real pan, so exciting...)

Oh no! Double post! (But since finally getting things done is such a good sign, I'm gonna do it anyway! )
Backed up my computer -- for the first time ever!

Did my exercise for the day, washed a load of dishes and cleaned the kitchen.

I did the dishes for my boyfriends parent's and I called my mom.

recap: work. dishes. cooking. laundry. made an apple pie & banana bread. went out for Halloween

I started to carve a pumpkin for Halloween, I roasted the seeds, went grocery shopping, made a nice dinner, started a mood journal.

Smoothed a rift between my husband and daughter.

Well it is my son's birthday today, He is 16, Years have just flown by
This morning done a big shop, Then done housework, We had a birthday cake for my son and a special tea

made a phone call to my sis, responded to friends on Internet, finished a book, looked after my mental health

DBT. work. walked dog. made supper. load of laundry

Showered and got dressed. Surrounded our little painted pumpkin with some candles so we can see it while we watch a dvd.

But the fun thing was a little stealthy neighbor thing. --Shhhh!-- The downstairs neighbors put a nice little lit pumpkin display out and in one of them the tealights had gone out. So... snuck down and set three new (unlit) ones on it for them to find. Teeheehee! (We've never met, but it was cool they'd put on a display together, so...)
