  • i’m grateful i didn’t fight with my mother all weekend.
  • self-gratitude-quota: i’m grateful that i walked all the way home tonight. took me over an hour, and brought me well over my steps goal, which is always a great feeling!
  • i’m grateful that i’m home again with all my nightly routine things. (calendar, bullet journal, diary; laptop as well, although i’m not yet sure if i’ll still open it tonight.) after having to do a spontaneous visit last night and staying there overnight, it’s good to be back home again!

  • self-gratitude-quota: i’m grateful that i walked to the party tonight. steps goal: met!
  • i’m grateful that i didn’t have to go into work today.
  • i’m grateful that i’m motivated and having fun learning yet another new language, for now. if it ends up being short-lived, that would be fine as well; it’s fun and exciting now, that’s what’s important.

  1. SGQ: I met important people and I was not that anxious. I even handled it well and remembered the important details
  2. SGQ: my mom was a bit depressed, so I cooked (=order McDonalds) and made sure I can make her comfortable (it seemed to work - I’m proud of me for being perceptive and taking the right action)
  3. I felt nice today. It was a 7/10 day, which didn’t happen since a good deal of time. By the way, I’ve been averaging a nice and round 5.0 day rating on exist since I started using it. So I have an “okay” existence. I think that it should get higher in the following weeks since I’m starting ADHD medication, so I’ll both be a bit euphoric AND not get depressed because I didn’t work enough on a given day. Maybe I’ll gain 1 point of life coolness!
  4. SGQ: I have the habit of self-gratitude journaling now; I don’t need beeminder to bug me about it!

  • i’m grateful for having this thread. in over two months, i haven’t yet missed a day, and i’m still very much enjoying my time here, both reading others’ posts and writing my own.
  • i’m grateful for my colouring app.
  • self-gratitude-quota: i guess i’m grateful that i went to get a bubble tea during lunchtime today. i might have found my standard order; at least it tasted really well again for the second time. (taro milk tea with triple boba.) but maybe i still want to try all the flavors they have over time. when it’s gonna get hotter the ice cube ones make more sense at least.

  • i’m grateful i was able to fall asleep again this morning after waking up at 6 a.m. for whatever reason. it took me a while, i think, but i probably ended up with around 10 hours of sleep in total in the end, which my body better be as grateful for as my mind is!
  • self-gratitude-quota: i’m grateful i ate and drank sufficiently today. or at least i believe i did. life is tough when you’re sick and have no appetite.
  • i’m grateful the fever didn’t rise. i don’t really trust the last measuring saying it went down; we’ll see how it is tomorrow, but at least it didn’t go up, that’s great.

  1. SGQ: I’ve been a lot better about taking my earplugs when going out, and I’m having a lot more fun and being a lot more fun as a direct result!
  2. I got a pretty new lamp and a “smart” lightbulb for it, and I have it turning on a nice soft warm orange when it’s time to start winding down for bed.
  3. Got to hang out with some friends today for a stitch ‘n’ bitch.

  2. I’m grateful to myself for cooking tonight, which is something I rarely do but I want to do more. The food was not horrible and certainly edible.
  3. I had dinner with friends last night.

  • i’m grateful i didn’t loose access to my online tax/finance account today. i had input the password incorrectly too many times, but my flatmate (:pray:) reminded me about this other, app-login-method, which i remembered the password for and it worked perfectly. the site-password-login is fully disabled now and probably really tedious to re-enable, but that doesn’t matter, since i can get into my account the other way.
  • self-gratitude-quota: i’m grateful i didn’t fight with my mum on the phone. i didn’t pick up the first phone call today, which was probably a really good idea, since we were kind of having a text-argument when she called; now things were calmer, and we managed to have a normal conversation, yay!
  • i’m grateful i’ll be in bed at a reasonable time again tonight! might not make midnight tonight, but i predict it will be 30 past midnight, or 1 a.m. at the latest, which still gives me a good amount of sleep tonight!

  1. I have headphones that completely block music when Jeremy is listening to something I don’t like.
  2. One of Jeremy’s favourite online DJs is doing a 12-hour session today as a celebration for her stream’s first anniversay and Jeremy is enjoying it so much.
  3. I am grateful to myself for being an adult and letting him enjoy music he likes for as long as he wants - I used to not be able to tolerate it for long. The headphones help! :smiley:
