Happy

 I was asked in the comments what is making me happy. 

Reading the Bible slowly. No Bible in a year. If you can great. It was making me anxious, and I gave up. Communion with God should not be anxiety producing. 

Savoring food. I used to eat for just fuel. I never enjoyed it except on vacation. Food is an experience. 

Finding the good in people. I spent an hour in CVS yesterday having the pharmacist find a gummy vitamin without certain allergens among other helpful employees. 

Getting my steps in. Movement helps me physically, but the benefits to my mental health is awesome. 

Finding my inner child. Who knew buying more pens and classic legos could bring a smile. Thirty dollars well spent. I don’t know if a Chanel purse could do that right now. 

Your prayers and love for me lift me so high. Thank you for honoring me with your time and support. I will never be able to repay the blessing it is to be loved by you. 

Love yourself and one another.

  1. Thank you! Your post is better than the Bible. I am catholic but I prefer a good christian post than a historic story sometimes good only after a lot of efforts to find a good interpretation!

  8. Agree about the Bible reading in a year. I'm glad that I did it in one way because now I've read through the Bible twice. But... I'm glad to not be reading it through this year. I've been reading it slowly and not worrying about reading a certain amount each day mainly to literally check a box. Exercise is excellent for my mental health. I'm glad you're finding your inner child and having lots of good moments :).
