healing

I had a horrendous day yesterday.
And I am not feeling good today at all.
So being able to look at my #photodiary and see the good things in my life has been very comforting.
- My son brought me my tumbler because he knows I get thirsty after my nap
- Beautiful weather and it wasn't too warm (I don't do well when it's warm)
- One of my face serums. I really enjoy applying them. And this one smells amazing
- The trees are so green and lush now
- Ice-cream run
- One of my favorite flowers. Think they are called carnations on English
- My youngest has adopted my habit of listening to Lofi Girl
- John Wick 2
- Study time in my Bible.

It's gratitude Tuesday.
Or Grati-tuesday as we like to call it in our little - but very supportive - group.
I am so thankful for you all and the way you support me in focusing on the good.
Today I invite you to reflect on something you're grateful for.
It can be anything or anyone.
As long as it/they spark gratitude in your heart.
You're more than welcome to share with us in the comments to spread gratitude and inspire others.
I'll get us started with the sharing.

I stumbled upon this on Pinterest.
And I thought it was so comforting.
Sometimes things and healing take a long time.
Longer than we wanted it to.
And it can be hard not to get discouraged sometimes.
That's when we need kind reminders.
Like this one;
Just because it's taking time, doesn't mean it's not happening.
I wish you the best possible week, you can have.

We made it another week.
To me this week went so fast - and slow; funny how time works.
No matter how you got through the week;
You got through the week.
And that's the most important thing.
Do you want to take a moment and reflect on a win from your week?
It can be anything that was a win to you.
You're more than welcome to share with us in the comments to spread good vibes and inspire others.
I'll get us started with the sharing.
I wish you the best possible weekend, you can have.

Glimmers
- Are the opposite of triggers
- Make us feel connected, present and peaceful
- Help calm the nervous system
- Can be interactions with others or solo experiences
- Are micro-moments of safety.
We celebrate glimmers each day in this group.
And in particular on Thursdays where we have Glimmer Thursday.
Today I invite you to reflect on a glimmer from your week.
And you're more than welcome to share with us in the comments to spread glimmers and inspire others.
I'll get us started with the sharing.

Didn't have enough pictures for my grid this week; I've had some really challenging days.
But then it's good to look back in my pictures and reminding myself of other good moments.
Makes me hopeful that I'll have more.
So this week's #photodiary has pictures from a few weeks:
- Sharing my comforter with my son
- Another traditional breakfast treat
- Walking my fully packed and ready youngest to a weekend trip; he was so excited, bless him
- Chocolate chip and sprinkle cookies
- My oldest son is very happy with his pocket cross; even has it beside him in bed sometimes
- Finished diamond art piece
- Study time
- My sons sleeping in their new beds; warm, loved, safe and sound
- Movie night; John Wick 1.
Thank you for helping me to focus on the good.
Especially when times are rough and hard for me.

As we begin a new week, I wanted to remind you of how progress and healing can look - and often does.
It's not linear.
And it's not easy.
At least not for me and many I know.
You're doing your best.
Even on days where it doesn't feel like it.
Then you're still doing your best.
Our best looks different on any given day.
So please try to be kind to yourself.
I wish you the best possible week, you can have.
