Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check In - Sunday the 1th of July
Hey my lovely trauma family!
happy july!
today i woke up to such a beautiful view. i stayed at my friends house the whole weekend and woke up laying in the bed next to my good friends. the sun was already shining through the room and everyone was still asleep. i felt my throat being a bit sore so i stood up and went into the kitchen. making a cup of coffee i was greeted by the cat, and pet him, while he looked at me with his brown eyes. i went to the terrace on the roof with my coffee, sat down with a few blankets, put on my music and had a view over the city. A few minutes later, my friend joined me and we just sat in silence. And that was such a magical, worryless moment i wont ever forget.
I love these kind of moments. The little moments in life. The moments where everything seems just perfect and you feel free. When was a time where you experienced such a moment? What did it feel like to you?
Or feel free to step by and tell us how you are feeling today. This is your safe place where you can share whatever you d like to.

Hi ..
@sensitiveShade5337
Hey Shade!! How you doin hun? 😊💜
@Hope3729
What a beautiful check in ❤
My last perfect moment, perfect time was when I was on a road trip.
I was with a beautiful small group of people and we had lit a camp fire and melted Brie cheese in it and had bread to dip in it. It was such a magical time. I felt so content on that road trip, we all got on so well, spent our days hiking, swimming, snorkelling, singing along to music in the car.
Felt so free and positive because it was only months after the last traumatic event and yet I felt so totally at peace....its good to remember that time. Reminds me that I can feel at peace and joyful, its so totally posible and this time where im struggling with so much negativity won't,can't last forever.
Thank you for reminding me of that :)
@indigoBeing9907 Sounds wonderful. Hold on to the memory
@indigoBeing9907 hey there! sounds like a wonderful moment, and am really glad you were able to experience that

@Hope3729 Good Morning Hope. O(r evening or whatever. Lovely phost today, Thank You. I feel a mite odd tho, this is only like the 5th time I havn't made the sunday check in since last november, Feel like m in trouble for n=or something lol.
Hugs Hon, have a wonder filled time :)
@Raveninthelabrynth thanks Raven next sunday s all yours i promise 
hope youre having a wonderful rest of the day.
You know, I try to give myself moments like this daily, no matter how small they may be. Just picking up my coffee cup, feeling the warmth in my hands, closing my eyes to the rest of the world for long enough to have just a sip...and then having to open my eyes back to the real world and get back to work lol. But for just that small moment, Im free. My favorite and most freeing place is my grandparents farm. Riding the four wheeler through the woods is just awesome. Flying down the back roads with my windows down and my music up. When Im at home, I usually just take the time to relax with a nice cup of coffee and an episode of some show before I get down to work. Sometimes when Im at work I take my phone in the bathroom and lock the door so I can just play like one round of a game or something just to give myself a quick mental break. You cant pour from an empty cup, and when I find myself running on empty I have to just stop everything and refill a little. I feel like Ive been keeping myself *at* empty for a while now. I need some refilling. I need some more spoons. I need less in my stress cup. Whatever theory you wanna go with they all mean the same thing. You cant give what you dont have. But Ive been doing just that for so long. I need some help getting back.
@BeeLeigh hey there bee, beautifully said and a beautiful mindset you are having.
i understand its not always easy to refill our tank, but you can always start new. with this message. even only take 5 deep breaths.
in and out. in and out. in and out. in and out. in and out.
Read a nice book, lock yourself in the toilet to play a game, or simply give yourself some minutes of refilling and relaxing, because you and your body deserve that wishing you a lovely day bee.
@Hope3729 Hej Hope
