@BeeLeigh - Hi Bee. Oops, I accidentally checked in on the wrong thread this morning. Blegh. Anyway, today's a 2/10, nothing happened yet, just my normal low lately.
Thanks for the ol' sayings. Really enjoyed them.
Here's another blessing for you:
May brooks and trees and singing hills join the chorus too, and every gentle wind that blows send happiness to you.
- Irish Blessing (supposedly, can't confirm)
@wontsleepwontwake
Thank you wontsleep! I love that! Hopefully something will happen today to pick you up and send a brighter day your way! 😊💚
@BeeLeigh It's still only Tuesday? Man, this week is dragging 😉
I live in a college town notorious for excessive partying by students, so St Paddy's is a shelter in place kinda day for us locals lol. It can get pretty ugly out there (as in literally riotous -- a few years back several hundred students overturned and torched a news van following a hearty day of excessive consumption). Good times 🤣🙄😂
Anyway, best wishes to those who celebrate (in relative moderation). 😎❤️⛺
@melliotm
...yes...yes it is still only Tuesday...cuz I copied my other one and only changed the date! 🙄🤦🏼♀️🙃
@BeeLeigh It happens (as in, been there done that many times myself👀). Anyway, no harm, no foul -- appears that the typo has been corrected by a gracious mod with editing privileges. 🇮🇪🍀⛺
@melliotm
Oh wow!! Here we just have a parade and then there
@BeeLeigh Ooh sounds like fun! 😎 Thanks -- my neighbourhood is largely free of students thankfully, and the aforementioned events served as a catalyst of sorts for local officials to subsequently crack down on the more unhinged festivities (although it still gets sloppy out there). 🍀🇮🇪🎉
@melliotm
Omg it really is so much fun here!! I
@BeeLeigh
How was your day/is your day looking/are you feeling today?
idk always wonder can I be better but scared of risk
@conscientiousPineapple1782 Hey Pineapple, 
Do you believe deep down its possible to get better and what do you think getting better looks like? What would taking a risk involve do you think for you? I think its truly possible for everyone who is affected by trauma to heal but I would say its not easy and its tough, and it does involve risk, risk of letting in others, risk of trusting others to talk along beside you in that journey and risk of letting go of self blame, self hatred, risk of letting go of self hatred and risk of believing it wasnt your fault, risk of placing blame where it belongs and risk of self acceptance - all things you are not used to doing. Risking hope. And hope above all else is terrifying. But Hope gives us a future. And you are worth that Pineapple.
@Rain45
yeah I PREFER faith
idk am I even realistic
hmm didn't thought first cure myself
The day is looking pretty good thus far. Had some mild stomach upset and a little bit of discomfort fussing with some things related to my path. But fussing with those things has definitely improved the day, despite the uncomfortable feelings. It's been a better day than some of the recent ones.
@xSyanx Hey Syan glad your day is looking pretty good so far Tho hope your mild stomach upset clear up pretty soon. Im glad today is a better day for you than recent ones and its good to remind yourself of the better days when days that are not so great hit, as we can kind of lose sight of these, occasionally. What do you have planned for the rest of the week, anything exciting?
Today was super busy at work im off for the day and just want to rest at home but i have to do chores and cook two differant meals. However weekly my man and I have been marking things off the checklist so I am a little proud for that. I have started to keep two lists, one of todos and one of have dones so I can track my proggress and take the time to feel acomplished.
Hi everyone 😊 having a pretty good day so far. Looking forward to a weekend away and just packing now. Wishing everyone a good day ❤️
@BeeLeigh
I love you all.
Can I take part in this enthusiasm about St. Patty's? I think itd be rewarding to feel that way about something again.
@humorousBeing8966
Everyone is Irish on Paddy
How do you combat subtle sexism, and point it out to masculine humans you care about that do not know the difference when they are allowing sexism show in there speech and facts?
[My days have be rough]
@rissadawn this is a hard one! Maybe I statements would be a good tactic to use in this situation.... I encounter this often also but it most bothers me when it comes from men I
@purpleWest8143
I will have to try it, in my case it with my younger brother so it a little bit easier to be open and blunt about this topic than with a person of power. Hopeful it works in your case, and I have found that sometimes appealing to them with facts can at least bring to the watering hole.
@rissadawn yeah I
