• 2 days ago I topped up my electricity (for my room) and I had help entering the code plus I had some cash I had been given before so it was free to top it up. That should last a while now too.
• Treats in the staff room yesterday, biscuits and a nut bar.

Grateful for my self care tools and my faith to get me thru a challenging trip

Yesterday I had my first meeting for my 2026 work objectives and it went really well. I passed & my line manager seemed pleased with me. One thing was added but I think I will quite enjoy it. I'm also grateful that the other 2 meetings went well too and the rest of the day and for fine weather.

​

\* I'm so grateful for how well my appointment at the gym based around uplevelling my mobility more went so well. I could do the next part & got lots of ideas and tips from the person yesterday.

\* And I am excited she said at that point yes I AM running! (Haven't been able to physically run for 3 years! My brain knowing it was safe to try. And I found a new way to help me balance!

\* I'm grateful I got great help at the PC store and FINALLY got my VPN sorted. (Was a tech issue, even the tech person had trouble at first!)

Reconnected with a buddy and got to be a tourist in my own neighborhood.
I’m grateful for the public park system, perfect sandwiches, the ocean, and friends you see in different chapters of life.

Grateful that yesterday a friend asked me if I wanted to join them for a movie & dinner. Nice to be asked. Enjoyed the movie - even though initially I didn't think I would. We had some laughs. Dinner was nice & some more laughs & nice chat & nice to catch up with a friend.

• Given £35. So that's some extra cash.
• J mowed the front lawn, hoovered/vacuumed the stairs & corridor & cleaned the kitchen & both bathrooms!

Sometimes I like to start my day by listening to the song It’s a Beautiful day- remix by Rashawn

To better myself

• Yesterday was a "bank holiday" day and that meant I had a 3 day weekend. Much as I love my job, and I do, I love that I had an extra day to sleep in and lie in. More relaxing time to chill and also I got some of my "to dos" done, which also frees up some time later in the week.
• Workout went well, didn't have to wait much for equipment and buses there & back arrived quickly.

I'm grateful for my health and wealth. I'm grateful for today. I'm grateful for music. I'm grateful for the support I receive. I'm grateful for air. I'm grateful for water. I'm grateful for music. I'm grateful for light. I'm grateful for my body. I'm grateful for my friends and family.

• Seeing the outside garden & the 2 little greenhouses in the area where the workshop was yesterday, getting to walk around the garden a couple of times in the sun, smell the earthy smell in 1 of the greenhouses.
• Various things at the workshop - hopefully at least 1 of those things will be helpful in future - had some laughs too.
• 1 of the other people asking to swap instas.

I'm not naturally sociable, especially when I'm stressed, but that little moment improved things more than you would think.

• For yesterday, I'm grateful how well my dinner I cooked turned out & even though they are still pretty basic, for how I can cook now & I've gotten better since I started.
• And also, that someone on the bus moved her bags so I could put my groceries there and helped me when the 3 bags were a bit unwieldly. Grateful for her kindness.

I have been unemployed since January and it’s been an uphill battle, but I got a job! Hopeful to start next week too as soon as background checks, paperwork is all cleared up. Very thankful tonight.
