To feel successful?

I don't really. But I'm sliding into depression and doing a 'count your blessings' exercise.

Reasons to feel successful/worthwhile.

I have three great kids who do well at school and have lots of friends.

I live in a beautiful house and have spent the last couple of weeks tidying it to within an inch of its life.

Dh is wonderful and we have a lovely marriage.

We have enough money for extras most of the time.

I've lost two and a half stone in the last few months.

I get out of bed every day and get all three kids to school, ds2's school run is a two mile round trip and I walk it with the dog 😇

I usually cook a decent evening meal.

I haven't had a drink since the day before NYE.

These are the things I'm focusing on today (while trying to ignore all the terrible things about me).

Anyone else? It's a really useful exercise. And this is prime depression time for a lot of people.

Aww, thanks EssentialHummus Thanks (see how nice it is when people are nice?!)

If I could copy and paste I might give it a go! Who knows I might give it a whirl anyway (perhaps later?) ....

Thanks DaftJelly

(looks like I'll have to do it now!)

It'll hopefully be a bit like the lovely gratitudes thread but possibly even simpler with a tiny edge of "I did it!"
