One good thing

[uni]

Yes I'm looking forward to warmer weather too. A good thing today, and for a few days running now, is the sunshine coming in my windows. I stand at the balcony doors while talking on the phone and drinking something, and it lifts my spirits.

One good thing today is that my car started right off the bat. I thought it might not because it has sat for a couple of weeks in the cold. I plugged it in overnight, and today voila! I didn't drive it anywhere, that will come in the next few days when it's a bit warmer.

No boost required. There’s a plus Uni.

Two days of fresh air and doggie walks feels
amazing!

One good thing, is staying at home in the pandemic leaves lots of time for baking! Have you heard? Covid calories don't count.

[uni]

No I hadn't heard that! I feel so much better about the chocolate unbaked cookies I made! Which also is today's good thing!

[uni]

I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not, but last night I slept for over 12 hours!

[AJ]

I bet your body thought so.

[uni]

Yes, I think my body appreciated it

Now for today's good thing. I had an old recipe I'd been given and never used, which I made up. It's super quick and easy, involving an angel food cake mix and some crushed pineapple. Quite a nice treat!

[AJ]

That sounds yummy Uni.

My one good thing is that my parents got their first Covid vaccine today, so I can not worry so much for them.

[uni]

That is good news AJ! I can understand how that could help to calm your worries. My sister-in-law has had both shots, and my oldest sister just had her first, so things seem to be slowly progessing, fingers crossed.

For my personal good thing, I have decided to be kind to myself and set no particular goals today. Well, other than a bath/shower and a walk. Usually I have a loose framework of a few things to do, but today (aside from a phone appointment with my psychiatrist), I'll kick them around as and when I please. Am currently sitting with a coffee after a late lunch of eggs and toast. I think my brain is tired.

[AJ]

I think a flexible day with no ' have to' list is great. As a society we can be so task orientated, it's good to give ourselves a break!

Yesterday did me good. Body, mind, and spirit all got some replenishment and I feel the difference today. I actually felt like tackling some financial and utility business by phone, catching up on emails, etc. I'm going to keep an eye on body/mind/spirit a bit more these days, as I'm very worried about a sick family member, and that takes a toll even though I don't dwell on it.

I went walking today for over an hour, which was a feat considering all the ice (it was water yesterday). Temperatures just below freezing, not much wind, very refreshing. It was a good thing

[AJ]

I'm sorry to hear that you have a sick family member Uni. A refreshing walk while staying upright is always a good thing!

[uni]

Thank you AJ. I

Today I tried something out of character, which I hope is a good thing -- I baked cookies! I rarely bake. This could be a slippery slope as there's only me to eat them
