Welcome to this new Gratitude Friday! Feel free to share with me your (partial or full) gratitude moments in the comments; that way I can hold joy for you ✿ (you know that makes me happy to make you happy).
This week felt mostly like a big set back in term of my mental health. BUT it’s ending and it’s finally Friday so cheers to that!
How did Life treat you this week? An artist I really appreciate shared that he attempted suicide this week, it set the tone… Depression is not just feeling low, it is stronger than that. His attempt forced me to look even deeper and to accept that I might need help even though I am scared to ask for it. We will see (I am a stubborn bitch).
This week, I am thankful for:
- My Mom’s unconditional Love
- Being on point in my meal prep for the week
- My delicious vegan lunches, all for my self and by myself (PS: you can follow my foodie’s adventures on my second Instagram account)
- This new personal project I just started. It is using my self-portraits coupled with words
- Reiki
- My Husband’s help regarding my productivity
- CBD oil spray for sleep
- The come back of my hot baths!
This week’s soundtrack:
I decided that now and then I might explain my soundtrack choice… Since her “breakdown” a decade ago, I fell in love with Miley Cyrus’ music. Not that crappy pop from her Hannah Montana years, but the deeper and more honest stuff. I used to listen to Bangerz and Miley Cyrus and her dead petz on repeat.
I did not love her last album, though. Too country for my liking. But this EP? yes!
This song is embodying the rage I feel more often than not nowadays.
I can’t understand the words of songs much anymore so I went out and found the lyrics. They are pretty intense for sure. I’m glad you are feeling better. I felt down a week ago Saturday – way way down but it didn’t last. I have had some low energy days though this past week and ended up playing a lot of online games.
I’ll check out your food instagram posts.
I feel grateful I feel better both physically and mentally.
I feel grateful that I have access to so many free books online.
I’m grateful for our new front door where the window comes down and we get some good cross ventilation.
I’m grateful for a/c on these hot days.
I’m grateful for my husband of almost 61 years.
I’m grateful to be able to read and enjoy your blog.
husband of 61 years? oh my gosh: #couplegoals! congratulations.
I feel better but honestly, it always attacks “out of nowhere” (which I know is false, there’s always a reason even if it does not seem like so) and can come back as fast as it left… I am glad you are feeling better too.
Free books online are great. What are you reading?
Thank you so much for sharing with me, Jean.
