Hi Focus, one of the guaranteed things is there will be days when one foot in front of the other is all we can do - and well done for not only doing that, but de-clutter GALing too.
Since we S, I have enjoyed travelling lighter. I try and operate a one in one out approach now, so stuff doesn't just build up.
I had a rough day recently and I decided to re-listen to the Shawn Achor TED talk on happiness and do the five things he recommends - Gratitude for 3 things, meditate, journal about something pleasant that happened yesterday, exercise and random act of kindness.
By the time I'd - gone out for a half hour walk, meditated for 20 mins, journaled about a theatre visit with a friend, written down 3 things I was grateful for and emailed a friend to say how much I appreciated her - it was difficult to feel down
The beauty of this is these things are always there for us when we need them. Or more to the point, we can be there for ourselves when we need us.
Take care and I hope today is a better day xx

We receive & we lose, and must try to achieve gratitude & embrace with whole hearts whatever of life that remains after the losses - Dubus
