Helps me to see the good in my life. Which I struggle with due to emotional dysfunction and anhedonia. But seeing some good organized in a collage is very good for my mental health.

And for letting me share.

I had so many pictures to choose from for this week's #photodiary due to my youngest son's confirmation service and party.
And I also did have many glimmers besides that. Which is such a blessing.
- I got my first roll of PET tape from a bestie that really wants to support my journaling and creativity
- My son got so many gifts for his confirmation. And one of my aunts actually got me something too; "A gift for mom". I thought that was so kind!
- During the confirmation service at church the priest gave my son a coin with the blessing from Numbers 6:22-27 on it. Such a precious keepsake
- Using public transportation I always hope to get a seat. If not; then something I can hold on to (my balance isn't so good). And I did get that even though it was rush hour. Which was a relief
- Spring flowers on an apple tree
- My niece wanted to hold my hand while we drove home
- The cross I gave my son as a morning present before his confirmation. So he could wear it the whole day. And he hasn't taken it off
- A new bookmark (I collect them) with books on it; love it!
- Front page collage for May in my Faith Journal. Theme: windows.
Thank you all for letting me share. And keeping me focused on the good.

I had a lot to choose from although I've had a rough week.
I have been very focused on capturing the good. So I think that's why I had a lot of photos to choose from - even though it's been rough.
This week's picks:
- Prompt in a devotional about how I've seen God at work in my life. Thought that was a really important thing to reflect on. So I made a page in my journal where I answered the question
- Morning coffee in a extra fancy cup because it is my sister's birthday
- A new big shirt nightgown with Mickey and Minnie
- Dr Pepper Zero as a afternoon treat
- Spring view from a window. And the early morning light makes the colors even better
- New nails in time for my youngest's confirmation
- Couch, duvet, pillow, and YouTube videos
- My pencil cases, journals, Bibles all stacked up and pretty
- Finally bought a proper stationary cutting tool. I've already used it several times (inspired to the different form of use from YouTube).
Thank you all for always being so kind and supportive.
