One good thing

That's great uni.

Our house backs on to a nature reserve. Bella & I go exploring there almost every day. It is so peaceful and certainly helps to get grounded.

Great to hear from you AJ. It sounds like you and Bella have a good thing going with the nature reserve!

There's an urban walking trail just a block away from me. It runs along a drainage ditch I call "Cattail Creek" and I walk there often. Currently there's at least one pair of ducks making their home among the cattails. And a couple of actual cats are frequent visitors.

One good thing in the last 24 hours: I spent nearly an hour walking on the trail, making a bigger loop than usual. My body and mind thanked me.

Sorry for the delay Uni. Life's been rather unsettled lately.

Your description of the place you walk sounds so peaceful. The benefit you get from doing so is definitely a good thing!

Hi AJ. It's always good to hear from you, whether delayed or not

I haven't been on the forum much lately. Too many irons in other fires, some of which have involved learning DBT skills, and some of which have involved practical things needing attention, and other things where life has been giving me a few lemons, plus the odd glass of lemonade.

I hope things are a bit more settled for you these days. I wish you all the best with whatever's happening in your world. Take care, you are precious.

Thanks Uni! Sorry for my late reply. I haven't been on the forums for a long time. We could start our own lemonade stand. I am slowly finding my way thru the muck of things.

You've always had a great set of tools in your toolbox. I hope life's challenges have been less difficult for you since your last post.

Today's good thing is I made it onto this forum to post!

My days seem to alternate between quite busy and quite tired. I like being busy, but not tired. However, I've managed -- with help from others, and using some trusted skills and tricks, plus a few new ones -- to stay more or less sane, and for that I am really grateful.

There is a lot more I could say, but one of the things keeping me busy is that I'm writing a lot. By doing that elsewhere I'm less likely to do it here. In any case, I'm glad to see the forum still available. It has been one of the things that has helped keep me afloat many times in the past, and I don't forget that, or the people here
