what has cheered you up today?

[furiousnana]

I started counselling today for childhood trauma, which i've carried my whole life and today i had my very first session. I wasn't sure how it was going to help, i know whats wrong with me, i just don't know how to stop it.

Half way through the session, during a conversation which i won't go into, i felt so emotional, i grabbed my chest and realised something made sense and the counsellor gently explained that this was a good thing as it means i can be fixed!

and as hard as today has been... this has made me so happy!

so, maybe not quite as deep as mine, but share whats made you happy today

My partner. I’ve had a long, rough day but a hug from him and a glass of wine has made me feel so much better 😊

Not deep at all, but hearing that the buyer of my flat has got his mortgage has really brightened my day!

Love this.

Laughing together at some photographs taken of my daughter at a dance competition. The photographer caught some lovely moments and some candid crackers.

Managing to download my p60 from the work ePayroll system, when I had no log in or password. Need it for tax return at end of January. The very helpful colleague who managed to get me access, told me I hadn’t logged in since 2020, and wondered how I had managed? Yes that will be when, you stopped posting them out and I obviously couldn’t face anymore passwords and log ins!

I have no idea how I have managed since 2020, I have clearly wiped if from my mind. Small wins!

That's wonderful news OP, what a relief it must have felt to have that aha moment of understanding! I wish you the very best on your healing journey.
Today was another quiet, cold winter day however, the day dawned with a typically short, but very pretty sunrise, the sky was clear and the sun was shining all day.
What a difference the sun made.
I decided to treat myself today by not looking at the world news and actually that has made me feel a little bit more cheerful.
Hey, sometimes we must take our cheer from when and where we can!

i never look at the world news... infact i dont look at or watch any news... thats a whole heap of misery i dont need in my life

It is still early .... However I love using my Body Shop Pink Grapefruit shower gel. Somehow it always puts me in a good mood.

Plus (so far) at work everything seems to be working ok (Touch wood!)
