I’m really struggling this week between health, financial, and personal difficulties along with anxiety over the general state of the world.

Please share what helps you get through tough days.

    I’ve learned to think of three things for which I’m grateful every day. Big or small. I don’t close the reminder until I complete the task. Today, if I can remember all three:

    1. Our kitty who was timid about my partner since living together is now comfortable being pet by her.
    2. I can walk to work (and do). Super short commute.
    3. Can’t remember the third, so this is off the dome: whatever maintenance stuff that the building was doing didn’t need to happen when they looked at our filter and they only stayed for five seconds.

        It’s been surprisingly effective at improving my outlook in general. An ex taught me that. Thanks, ex!
