I finished my web store and sold some items. I cleaned the bird cages too.

Wow this is awesome :) I think it does help alot. My therapist encourages it big time. I am celebrating the fact today that I am not suicidally depressed for the first time in a long time. It is nice, I feel the depression lifting. I loaded the dishwasher without feeling like it was a huge task. Yay me!!!

Those are great reasons to celebrate!

Although struggling, I sent my daughter to school decked out as usual, matching shirt, earrings and ribbons in her hair frida khalo style...

Gonna take my son to school and hopefully have a silly convo or listen to a good song together.....


That is all I'm able to muster up today unfortunately, it is something to celebrate...;)

congrats on the year of healing. it's been a year for me too, and that's what i am celebrating today too.

great post! thanks. :)

I didn't wear a basball hat to OP today....everyone was shocked and gave me compliments. I know it's small, but hey that's all I got.

Great words of wisdom... I read a while back to find 5 things to be grateful for everyday and it helps so much..
Today I going to be walking a ways to the store and taking Rascal out for a hike... Im celebrating being able to push myself through the 'lazy' times...x

I have a paper to write. I'm going to write it, then come back and celebrate that I got it off my back.

I will also promise to play flute and do stretches, weights, and read this interesting books a man in my church wrote on being a missionary doctor.

All in the future, I know. I do keep track on a monthly calendar of what I accomplish, and like the OP, it makes a tremendous difference to my life. I am much more stable, doing the things that need to be done, without getting overwhelmed by them.

Great post!

Great post for this board!!!!

It makes us aware that even one small task should be considered an accomplishment, and to remind ourselves of just that!

I think you should repost every day to help us do just that!!!!!

Me, I will ( haven't done it yet) take a shower and pick up my boys for my 3 hour visitation today. I haven't seen them in a week..... The week is always the hardest time of my existence, but I get through it....unbelievably.

Such a good idea- I think I will start a journal to focus on the good. Today is just beggining for myself but yesterday was tough and I stuck it out. Went to a few doctors appointments and had all sorts of complications but I made it through.

Congrats on your full year!

Congrats on your year - good post!

You too Mojo!

I am the Resurrection AND I am.....no wait....one thing at a time...

I'm celebrating this sandwich

I'm celebrating and accomplishing this sandwich

Welcome back BPsweety, you have been missed. It is good to hear you are stable, I think it is what we all strive for.

I love hearing of what others accomplish, especially the small things. It means "we fight" and realize that those small things to others are huge things for us. I admire those who can walk through a depression and still shower or those in mania who recognize they need to reach out.

With the weather changing here and so nice, I have been working outside alot. I am getting back in seasonal shape. The great accomplishment of that for me is I am getting out from in front of my computer where I spend hours a day working on bookkeeping. I also made some lentil soup/stew yesterday, yay me!!!!!
