Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-in Saturday, 9th of November, 2019
Happy Saturday every-amazing-one! I am so happy to hear from you once again. 
How are you feeling today? :)
How has this week been for you? Do you have anything you would like to share about it? :)
The weather around here is just so gloomy and just raining. I suppose this is just the usual autumn weather tho. Still, I find it really important for myself to make sure to practice some self-care just to keep my mood up as much as I can, just doing something that I enjoy and making sure to take good care of myself. :)
I mean, I do not really have as much of a strict definition of self-care. Just something that I enjoy doing and it is healthy for me in one way or an other. So, generally, just being lazy every once in a while counts as well. Or, you know, whatever may be helping you to just get through some tough times in a healthy way :)
Really, some days just taking care of myself per the above picture is all that I have got but it is just as important some days as finding times to practice more complex self-care activities. Every little step counts :)
That is why I would like to challenge you to just take some time for yourself today and just do that one nice thing you have wanted to do for yourself for a good while now - or just not do anything, really. Take half an hour or 5 minutes or whatever you might have for it just make sure that you are taking good care of yourself, because you do deserve it :)
Of course, I would be always glad to listen if you would like to share about the way you have decided to practice self-care but there is no pressure to share about it, just make sure to be nice to yourself :)
Of course, as always, there is no pressure on you to answer any of the above questions. If you would just like to say hi or just sit around with us for a while it is perfectly fine as well, we are just glad to have you here with us no matter what. :)
Also, we have been re-stocking on safe hugs, so we just have plenty for you to grab so feel free if you need any ^-^

@redmark I am actually really great today... No complaints from me! I am going to celebrate the small victory of my improved mood!
Hey there @baylinAnderson123 *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to have you here with us!
yay! I am really happy to hear that you are feeling great today. It is definitely something worth celebrating. The small victories and just those really nice days in life. :)
Stay awesome!
@redmark You stay awesome too!
@redmark hello red! good to see you today.
today is going pretty well. my day is fully planned, since we had an event in school this morning wherer i helped out as a volunteer, and afterwards i did a study session with some classmates and it helped me a lot! Now i have some time to study french until i visit a good friend of mine later today. I love it when my days are planned.
this week has been going...well it was a rollercoaster experience. i had 3 exams this week *ugh* and it was exhausting. But i also enjoy learning new things and am grateful for having the opportunity to gain wisdom.
Hey there @AveryLove *offering safe hugs*
It is always really good to see you around here as well!
Oh....I am more of a going with the flow kind of person but I can udnerstand that having a day planned out like that can be really nice as well. Especially that you have to got to spend it with your friends as well as that even at your school sounds really nice too. I mean, I am just happy to hear that you have had a nice day overall :)
Three exams are sure a lot. I am really proud of you and just happy to hear that you look at this as an opportunity to learn and that you are putting all this effort into it. You are doing a really great job :)
Stay awesome!

Hey Red
I also did almost nothing today we have had some drizzle abit ovwr the past 2 days, just trusting it will start to rain properly to fill up the dams and rivers, we're in desperate need of water in parts of the country. The other day i was driving on the freeway and it had started to rain a bit but the winds got so strong i had to slow down to be able to keep control of the vehicle and then the wind was blowing the sand from the farmers fields across the freeway and it was so hard to see, almost like mist but sand for a short bit. But made it through.
I love rain, the smell of it when it hits the hot earth and the sound it makes, i know some people get affected by the rain in a more depressed way, but it has the opposite affect on me. The heat depresses me more, the temperature has been up to 37 and 38 degrees, you just don't know what to do with yourself, although some people like warm weather but those temperatures are just too much to handle and think straight.
Hope you're doing ok Red x
Hey there @Avaray *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to hear from you around here!
Oww...that sounds sad. I mean, I suppose droughts always are devastating but still.
I am glad to hear that there was at least some light drizzle around there lately and I do hope that it will lead up to some proper rains as well to help all those people desperately in need of water for the crops. Although, I hope it will be not just so much rain at once that the soil will not be able to take it as it can be just as tough as well. Uhm...anyway, I do hope that things will take a turn for the better :)
Also, I am glad to hear that you have made it out alright, it sounds really tought to just drive in such wind and with such poor conditions and visibility.
I actually do like rain as well. It definitely has a unique smell to it and, honestly, it can be kind of fun to just go outside in one of those nice warm summer rains - or maybe I am just weird, who knows. Also, it is just so beautiful as the sun can shine on the wet surfaces. Anywho tho, the heat is just so hard to deal with for sure, I do hope that you will have some rain or just something to refresh the air around there and maybe cool things down a bit. :)
Stay awesome!
@redmark
Thanks Red x
Yes putting your face up to the sky and feel the drizzle on your face.. I like that
Yes and then the rainbows... I love rainbows... Always reminds me that God keeps his promises, that's what happens in my heart.
Hugs Red
