Bermuda

1: I've got this. I do. I've dug myself out of the hole.
2: I discovered that I can cook dinosaur kale in my pressure cooker it just has to come to pressure, and then naturally release, it is perfect. I love kale so much and am eating bags of it. Food makes me so happy.
3: I am going to get things accomplished today, and if I don't tomorrow is looking okay too.

Go team!

Now that I'm on this thread with an open post, I might as well look for three things myself - the 1st of which is: I'm using this opportunity rn

2) I'm up, I have enjoyed looking out the window a few times and I'm pretty calm about the pain in my throat because I know where it comes from (not an infection or anything)

3) I have done some housework - filled dishwasher and set in motion, found appropriate places for a few of the items I took from the flat of my deceased friend, so now one room is less cluttered. Also tidied up various bits and pieces including into the bin. Having had the wherewithal to do some tidying I feel a sense of agency, I feel better, stronger :) Particularly due to having found new appropriate places

Blueberry

1) Made it out of bed before noon

2) Got quite a bit done, like emails, phone calls etc inqiring about appointments and how to do what where. That helps me come unstuck and at least feel I'm moving forwards

3) Even went for a little cycle to run errands

4) Opening my attic window to look out and enjoy the view

Blueberry

1) It's a warm sunny day
2) I enjoyed hanging my washing up in the garden
3) I did a little tidying and cleaning

Blueberry

Three more :)

1) I'm definitely doing better than the past while
2) The course I'm doing is helping me understand a fair bit about how cptsd affects me and those realisations are helpful
3) I found 2 CDs and a book from the public library that had gone missing in my apt... They're all due in 2 days and I've already renewed them for about 6 weeks, no more renewal possible. It feels like such a relief, such a weight gone. I'm surprised how much relief is there! I needed to tell somebody and it's too late to phone anybody here in this part of the world.

4) I listened to hymns on YouTube and sang along a bit too, practising something helpful :)

Blueberry

1) Lovely orangey-red sunset on the clouds outside my window
2) A few minutes ago same was golden
3) Got lots done today

Little2Nothing

1) I now have a family that loves me unconditionally
2) I have had relative peace today
3) I am reading a good book

Blueberry

1)  :sunny:  :sunny:
2) Had nice chats with various different people today, all strangers I got talking to for various reasons
3) Finally managed  :hoovering:  :hoovering: everywhere in apt for the first time in I'd rather not say how long ;D

Blueberry

1) Had a nice long lie-in this morning

2) The scent of a hyacinth in my bedroom - permeates the room and I get a nose-ful whenever I go in which is quite often atm since I am tidying up

3) The family of a student of mine from a year ago brought me a little Easter basket and card - such a lovely gesture

4) Earlier today my bike chain came half off and got jammed somewhere very inconvenient BUT I managed to get it back on again just with my hands so I could cycle home again and not have to walk. Plus I feel really good that I managed a little technical thing with my hands :yahoo:  :)

5) Grinning from ear to ear rn - spontaneously

Blueberry

1) Continuing good phase :)

2) Managed a normal Saturday morning - cycled to market, met quite a few friends and had nice chats, did my food shopping at market, which makes me less likely to be tempted to buy any sweet stuff/junk food

3) I have a hymn running through my mind all the time today and I'm smiling spontaneously because of that a lot of the time  :)

NarcKiddo

1) Starbucks has Easter crispy bars which are utterly delicious. I had one with my coffee this morning.
2) I am managing to grind my way through my exercise most days. On days when my coach comes it is easier because he can encourage me. Today it was just me going to the gym. It is not much fun. I am currently in a holding pattern because of fatigue, and have lost ground. But I have managed to build in enough discipline over the years that I can accept my current situation and work with it. This does not actually feel all that good and it somewhat grates to include it as a "good thing", but I think it objectively is.
3) My art classes are going really well. I have gained confidence and I can see the improvement in my work.

1) I enjoyed a hot cross bun with a cup of coffee today.  It was delicious.
2) I enjoyed a walk with my partner.  The sun was shining.
3) I put some scented cream on my feet and gave myself a little foot massage, it was very relaxing.

The utterly joyful experience which had slipped my mind when I wrote my post above:

4) I saw my first bumble bee of the season in the garten in and on my lungwort (think that's the name - pretty pink and purple flowers) :)

1.  I spent time outside in the sunshine
2.  I had a lovely cup of tea and a fat rascal from Betty's
3.  I've nearly finished making a jumpsuit and a tank top.

Blueberry

1) I got out of bed and stayed out
2) I finally showered and washed my hair after a number of weeks of not doing so
3) I took my meds
