Today Is Sanguine Saturday!

Today I'm going to start my day with this.


Success Stories:
I was able to take some time for myself when my brother brought the kids over. I love spending time with them, but sometimes I do need breaks, especially at this time of year.
Managed to actually make it to three of my four appointments this week.
Cancelled the write-in I was supposed to enter so that I could stay home and look after myself because I woke up ill, instead of pushing myself to go and having the stress make me sicker.
Negotiated and made future plans with a friend.
Have been still trying with my NaNo story, even though I am quite far behind where I should be.



Gratitudes/things that make me happy:
Generally, giraffes.
My nieces and nephew.
Christmas carols.
Stuffies.
Kittens riding tortoises.
Music.
And my top thing for this week (turn your sound up):





Cheer-leading statements:
I'm doing the best I can.
It's okay to grieve.
I don't have to buy into my thoughts. I can acknowledge them, thank my mind, and let the thoughts go past.



Take care of yourselves until next time, and may we all find our own small fences along the way.
