    Waiting for brighter days

    My new thread. The title pretty much describes how things are for me right now. My waiting isn't passive, I'm actively doing what I can to try and bring about those brighter days. The basics are where I am at, and a lot of days I dont achieve all of those but I am keeping going. Last week I had little to no spoons, this week, I have a few more. Today I aim to get some fresh air, even if just a little walk.
    I have no EMDR this week so I can just relax and put therapy to the very back of my mind.
    I had a crochet order weighing on me as I struggled to lift my hook but I finished it yesterday. I am not taking any on for a while, I'm going to craft for me and see if I can find the joy in it again instead of the stress.
    So that's how things are at my end.

    It’s sounds like you’re doing exactly what you need right now, lovely. You’re so strong!
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I braved the mud wind and rain on the walkway enroute to the Boundary Stone for lunch of gammon and egg followed by shopping at the Coop.

    Glad you got your walk in SMum I see you're a walker extraordinaire

    Got my walk in today and tackled a few overdue tasks.... simple ones that for some reason I couldn't get on with.
