I am choosing to feel good today. I have to keep choosing it every half hour or so but I am STILL choosing it. V is with her grandparents today. I think I let myself fall apart on these days. I have been crying most of the day. But I am choosing to feel good. I choose joy!
After talking with my friend Emily today I have decided that I need to keep a new list on the refrigerator. It is called The YAY List (the I Did It List). I seem to focus so much on what needs to be done that I am missing all that I am doing. It is interesting; when I was severely depressed I let myself be ok with simply getting out of bed. Now that I am feeling better (but not totally better) I feel like I need to be able to do it all. I seem to have forgotten about baby steps. I just want to be ALL better now. Right now.
The YAY For Today List
1. I walked Jenny-Do at the Dog Park for an hour.
2. I exercised for an hour!
3. I called my friend Emily (I reached out when I was struggling, yay Carly).
4. I prayed (at ton).
5. I edited and published my blog from last night.
6. I wrote a friend an encouragement note that I have been meaning to do for a couple of weeks.
7. I sent out congratulations cards to my friend and cousin who recently had babies. Finally.
8. I ate some good food.
9. I showered (it has been two days).
10. I put makeup on and got dressed up for my sexy hubby. It is date night.
11. I made makeup for Vienna to play with. (I took some my old makeup containers and completely cleaned them out. Then I put pink, purple, red and cream nail polish in them to dry and become play makeup.) Yay Carly. I have been meaning to do this for a long time.
12. I ordered new vitamin supplements.
13. I made Vienna’s bed.
14. I made my bed.
15. I cleaned the dog after the long walk.
16. I planned out (in my mind) how I can better organize V’s room.
17. I did the dishes.
18. I did a load of laundry.
19. I picked up everything off the floor in the living room and kitchen.
20. Now I am going to go on a date with my wonderful hubby.
So even though I had many more things that I wanted to do today. I would say that I have accomplished a lot. Yay Carly.

Your YAY list was long yesterday (I love the makeup idea for V!)--It is so awesome to see you getting better every time we talk! I know it doesn't seem obviously better to you, but since I don't get to talk w/ you on a daily basis, I do "see"it!! Btw, I brushed my teeth yesterday (at about 5pm just before hubby got home). ;)
