What is the best part of today? Every day has its challenges but I want to know what the best thing is today.
The sun is shining, the weather has not gotten too unbearably hot today, So far (knock on wood) my day is going smoothly and the work part is almost done. My son has a choir performance tonight.
that's more than one thing I know. 😁
have you ever read Thich Nhat Hanh's Peace is Every Step. There's a chapter on "what's not wrong." It's a great little reading/meditation prompt.
Best part of today for me is rest. Between school and work I tend to overwork myself. Today I took a mid-afternoon nap for the first time in a long time. Then I woke up and ate a late breakfast/lunch in bed while listening to music.
Waking up is usually near the top.
But cooking fried eggs and hash browns for breakfast with my daughter was the best part of today.
Best part was hearing from a bestie who I haven't really been in touch with much lately
Having trouble thinking of a good thing that’s happened today, been a bad day from the jump. I now have 2 aunts in the hospital, 1 of which is like my 2nd mother and means a lot to me. Been stressed out all day prior to her going to the ER
/vent over
Walking around my yard drinking my morning tea, and finding a jalapeño on the pepper plant I've been neglecting.
I attended a new mental health support group tonight and it went great! We all really connected and I felt supported and seen.
I woke up and looked through a stack of delinquent bills knowing my day will be full of reading the countless opportunities algorithms are pitching to me, applying to those algorithms, and being instantaneously rejected in seconds. Started getting into my feels as a result so I went downtown to the cuddle lines only to be told that out of the 120 of us in line, only 18 were getting cuddled today. I see no hope, but I know I am not going through these things that many do, so each day I am not in that story is a day of pure bliss.
Woke up today and realized I still had half a latte left from last night drank it straight from the fridge and it was delicious
Ice cream and art gallery with a friend I haven't seen in awhile and new levels of connection with friendly people that feels good. My flowers look happy and the squirrels left some birdfood for the birds.
As strange as it may sound to some, my favorite part of today has been attending the death of a hospice patient.
I am a social worker, and am working this weekend to help triage for the nurses and seeing some of our transitioning and high needs patients. I went to a regularly scheduled visit for someone and when I arrived the nurse was outside and told me she had passed about 45 minutes ago. I went inside and met all the family who was visiting from out of town,.and had a long visit with her husband. Married 56 yrs, known each other for 65. He was relieved that she was no longer suffering, but obviously grieving. Being pragmatic but also emotional,.trying to marry the two, which is not easy. I loved that I was able to be able to be a part of his grieving process, and to meet the family and hear all their stories and their experiences, and to see them wrapping her now widow in support and love. I also know how much she had been suffering , and just last week she said that she was ready to go and not afraid. I am thankful that I was a part of their journey, and am looking forward to continuing with their bereavement process.
@pmvines you are a blessing to the world.
@pmvines Beautifully said. I’m glad they have you for this leg of their journey.
