Couldn't Be Me Either. 🙂‍↔️

So it's the end of the year, and as everyone's feeds flood with gratitude and year end or new year resolution posts, my contribution is my 2019 Good Things Jar. I've been filling one of these jars each year for a couple of years now. I'm not as good at tracking all of the good things as I would like to be. But this post and the exercise itself isn't about beating myself up. Exactly the opposite, actually. When I think about something worth noting that happens to me, whether a once in a lifetime occasion or a moment of daily trivia that just hits me, I do my best to write it down and stuff it in the jar. Reading through these little notes is awesome for reflection for me. For helping me get some much needed perspective, when I'm writing the notes, and when I take the time to look back. So I'll keep doing these jars. I would encourage anyone who hasn't done something like this to try it out, or something else like it. It helps. We can all too easily get caught up in the things that stress us, that we consider our failures, our losses, and lose sight of the beauty, the small victories. The things that make it worth it. #perspective #practicinggratitude #jarsformentalhealth #sothatwas2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/B6w1JbbhkSN3DycwpUcxAVqYK4NlkUqtxYWxgs0/?igshid=swg0yactkzkq

But what if it's been with you so long that you can't remember who that person was? #mentalillness #mentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/CU7WLa9rYVGE5ogp7qASs3NNWjv8j_dHfoVKW80/?utm_medium=tumblr

Truth here. I also think that you it's ok that you lose some of the battles, so long as you're trying to win the war. #migrainesupport #migrainelife #thistooshallpass Credit to @migraine.relief https://www.instagram.com/p/B25o3RXhlFd/?igshid=rnrxirb7rlm

Some great movies got made in the 80s. And the best ones starred Arnold Schwarzenegger. 😅 They're not always the best at predicting the future. But they got some of this one right. #guesswhatmovieimwatching #thebutcherofbakersfield #fuckimold https://www.instagram.com/p/CBMRM6EBMU4MVEv3s8-HR1TgJ9eYeaK-sE_j740/?igshid=1h2o4ej8vsc2v
