saturdays pozzies

sat opposite a mother with baby in the train... suddenly the baby looked at me and gave me the biggest smile i'd ever seen...like even his eyes were smiling.. wow.. it made me smile too. every time the baby looked towards me he started smiling again.. sooo cute

met up with a friend I hadn't seen in at least four or five months, and we walked (while talking) for 5 hours

felt really good.. tired now, but satisfied.

Sun?? It was raining here!

I guess you're lucky.
I'm not so fond of hutspot myself, I do like zuurkool-stamppot (talking about dutch dishes)
I know a pozzie for this week:
- there won't be any rain!

thank you B.. It makes me happy that it makes you happy
some positives for today:

went to an art fair... it was huuuge (500 artists!) but I picked up some great ideas I definately want to try

I feel like painting again... after months and months of feeling "bleh" (maybe its because the meds are starting to work, but either way - its good that I feel like I might enjoy painting again)

went out for dinner with mum/dad/sis and for once we were not arguing that much. I daresay it was enjoyable

I talked to myself yesterday (by replying to my own posts) and it was actually quite a relief... I mean, I told someone what was bothering me - but without having to worry about the response because that someone I told, was me. (does that make sense? probably not

)

Today I sat in the sun for a while and for a few minutes, I felt completely happy.

Today was another sunny day
You know, my T gave me homework. I have to write down something positive I did every day. Reminds me of your log

I felt really bad last night when talking to a friend, and then I fell silent... suddenly she came over and held me (like a hug, but different). It was really reassuring. (and again I didn't have to ask). It was a really good thing though I was having a sad moment.

Went to the movies with two friends and forgot what was bothering me for a while.

It is sunny weather today... and my cat decided to jump on my lap, so I could stroke him for 20 mins. (he never stays that long, normally)

Today I got up and went to college. When I actually didn't feel like going.
I'm proud that I did go instead of giving in to my laziness.

I opened up to a friend about recent thoughts (and planning) of SU. I was kinda scared about it, but she took it ok I guess. So I'm glad that I found the courage to do that.

Had a great weekend, went clubbing with some good friends. Oh and we watched "mr and mrs Smith"... really funny that one. I love my friends. And for one of them I have really deep respect.. and I'm more thankful for her being there than she'll ever realise.

Hi Anne, I just *had* to read your log because it always makes me feel better. *emotional sob*
It's really courageous that you could open up to a friend. I'm glad you did that.
Yes people care about you! I care too!

-- copied from the "top 10 things you are glad you did" post on main --
I am glad that I:

Have friends that actually seem to care about me

Can paint and draw to express things

Got my bachelors degree with quite good grades

Can learn quite well

Have climbed mountains - now I know my limits

Live near the sea

Joined BUS (despite my T saying that I shouldn't

)

Have kept in contact with certain friends (after some quarrels)

Managed to ask for help (which is a difficult thing for me to do)

Found the courage to open up to my T (even though we don't always agree)

todays pozzies:

I cleaned the living-room when I really didn't feel like doing it. That is good because it shows that I am able to do things that have to be done without too much problems.

I thought about asking R if she wanted to tell how she feels about what I told her last night. That is a good thing (to ask) because I am not being selfish then (I can listen to other people and how they feel too)

I came to an important insight today. (ah! that proves that my brain's still working!

)

I felt a bit better today. And despite having a lot of urges, I am now two days SI free
