FBL, congrats on 5000 days! Grateful for your presence here.
Alpine, doing uncomplicated projects, for gentle distraction, seems like very good self-care. Hugs to you.
Free, so glad you got to see the Sandhill Cranes! They are quite a beautiful sight! The cranes have been wintering in the California central valley, not far from where I live. They are starting to head back north now, so I've probably had my last sighting for the year.
NL, hopeful that your son's medication will continue to help.
Jack, hope you recover quickly from the cold.
PS, glad your depression is lifting a bit. It's very understandable .. the loss of a parent has such a huge impact on body, mind and spirit.
CBS, thank you for the kittens!
Grateful this morning for some quiet time to journal this morning. Sorted through some anxieties and unhelpful thoughts, and feel a bit more grounded.
Grateful to have a day "off" with no meetings, going to drive out to a nature area and birdwatch a bit.
Grateful for a massage I got last night spontaneously .. very soothing. Need to do that more often.
Grateful for this group.
