Something good today

Right now I'm really stuck and finding it hard to acknowledge that there are good things going on. So I wanted to find something every day to be grateful for or just acknowledge that it was good. 

I hope as I find the good things going on I'll be less stuck and less determined to end my life. My psychiatrist today said I need to build the 'living' pathways in my brain instead of the 'suicide' pathway. 

 

Feel free to add to this too. I know there are other threads similar to this so you don't have to.

I woke up before my alarms which meant I could silence them before they went off. Winning!

Thanks exciting @scared01! What sort of camera did you get?

Today I woke up to a really sweet text message from a friend which made me feel very happy about the day! I usually struggle with energy in the mornings, but not today 🙂

Sounds brilliant @scared01! 🙂 Have you had a browse through all the features? I have a canon 700D and find there are still so many cool things I can do with it that I know nothing about! Smiley LOL

 

Something good today was seeing photos of my two cousin's graduations, one from ADFA/Uni, and one from primary school- felt so much pride! Love how my family celebrate each other's wins Smiley HappyHeart

My favourite part of today was probably the feeling I got when I just gave in to the person this morning. It felt like I wasn’t fighting something for once

Ooh~ sure @Andrea-RO!

My favourite part of today was getting this gorgeous headband! It’s reindeer antlers, but with cute toadstools and pine cones! Only small, but very cute!

@xXLexi_Lou122Xx that headband is adorable! I want one! 😛

@scared01 woo yay for a new camera! Have fun learning all the features! I'm with @Jess1-RO I have a Canon 1200D and there's still things I learn and forget and relearn Smiley LOL
I recently shot a friends' wedding which was amazing, I'm just going through the photos and touching them up, fixing cropping/angles. Have fun and good luck with the shoot of your family 🙂


Something good yesterday - my manager let me catch up on my filing instead of doing my usual work because I let her know I was still in pain from a migraine. And I had about 2 weeks of filing to catch up on after a week off sick. I was amazed but grateful that she was accommodating for once. Small steps I guess?

@Bee its exciting to learn about the new features. im hoping to maybe find a camera club or something as I want to learn to use it properly. I thought about possibly doing a photography course to increase my skills

@scared01 wooo 🙂 I found a couple beginner camera/photography groups on facebook and have learnt heaps from them. (No idea if you have facebook or not) Otherwise, there are heaps of pins to sites and cheatsheets on Pinterest too 😛 I'm self-taught in everything I know about my camera and photography 😛 But a course sounds like a great idea, I've known people who have done them and have really enjoyed them and learnt heaps. I guess it just depends on your style 🙂

@xXLexi_Lou122Xx woo so glad you found a pair of glasses you love (why are they called a pair, when it's 1 frame? hmm 😛 )
I find the process a bit stressful to find new frames, as I get so attached to the ones I have that change feels so hard haha. Keen to see what they look like!

Thank you @Bee!
I wonder... I think it's because there is 2 lenses? Oh well.

I literally will have a pair of glasses, as I'm getting another pair sometime in January. A black pair, because I don't want to look too funky for my instrumental performances or anything. But I can't wait to show you all what they look like!

that could be why @xXLexi_Lou122Xx I hadn't thought of that 😛
woo nice! I'm keen to see them!

I have 2 pairs, like 2 frames... One is black with gold on the inside of the rims so it brightens my face (otherwise black glasses look weird on me haha) and the other are a blue into a clear frame, and they are nice 🙂

Something good today... Did everything on my new do-everyday list (here's hoping it will last more than one day)

That's pretty good @scared01, @N1ghtW1ng!

Thanks @scared01!

I found out I'm getting glasses today. I hated the idea at first, but then I tried some on and found a pair I loved almost instantly! I'll post a pic when they arrive. They're so funky!

that's cool @xXLexi_Lou122Xx
I have glasses to and have done since I was about 13. just need them for reading though not as an all the time thing. I hated the idea too and was terrified to go to school with them but I like them now and couldn't live without them

Yeah @scared01!
I have the same problem, except that I will be wearing them all the time during school, as it involves a lot of technology and close work. They're really pretty!

I honestly can't wait!
