    This is kind of sad, but as I was reading these, I couldn't help but wonder if I have anything that makes me feel good......I put myself under so much stress relaxing and having fun :embarassed: so when I give myself permission to relax and enjoy it, I enjoy:

    1. watching a good movie
    2. playing with my granddaughters
    3. have coffee/lunch with a good friend
    4. the feeling I get after I workout
    5. going to bed knowing I ate healthy and exercised
    6. doing something to add to the ambience of my home
    7. doing something for someone and especially if it is truly appreciated

    I think I need to do some journaling about all of this :ohwell: Thank you for making me face this and look more deeply into this. I wish you all a day of doing SOMETHING you TRULY enjoy and that makes you feel better! hugs to all, Dyanna

    You're welcome! This was kind of my goal! We can let our happiness slip out of grasp without even realizing it until we're totally overwhelmed. Definitely journal it. Hey, even try to do something, no matter how small, to make yourself feel good today! The point is that your happiness is most important! =D

    Cats. Cats are nice.

    For me, it's:

    -Hot showers
    -The feeling I get after a hard workout
    -Cat cuddles and purring
    -Shopping without using credit cards
    -The finish line of a 5K race
    -Catching up with out-of-State family

    AND
    -receiving second glances from others...*wolf whistles*

    - Being entertained by my crazy cat
    - Trying on a new shirt....and realizing it's too big
    - Not missing Blue Bloods on Friday night

    God :) He makes me smile and laugh and giggle and think differently and wonderfully in ways I can't even describe.

    When I get out of bed in the morning and suddenly I feel something is different...i can reach around myself easier...or walk a little lighter..jump just a little..something is different but I only weigh on the first of the month so it's like a christmas present yet to be opened...but I know it's good!!!

    Seeing a brand new baby. oh boy!!!! or oh girl...:)))
