Three happy things per day

rsadelle does this meme every November where she gives thanks for something every single day. I've always liked it and I think that as I'm dealing with everything right now, it's something that I want to modify for myself.

So I'm going to try and post 3 happy things per day because at least I can start realizing the good in my bad days.

1.) My research paper of DOOOOOOM was turned in today. I was worried about it and then I got to class and not only was I one of five students present but we were five out of the normal fifteen. Which made me laugh. So, I mean. Yeah. But I finished it, I edited, and I turned it in today and that was fucking awesome.

2.) Yoga! I started going to Yoga 3 weeks ago, now. I needed something for myself and I needed something to help me meet and talk to people. Plus, I found a local studio that was cheap (5 bucks a session!) and around 5 minutes away from me. WIN. I've not been as smooth in transitioning from certain poses to other poses, but today, I actually managed a few rather smooth transitions in so much as what was basically a push-up. I got a compliment from the teacher, which was lovely and made me feel very good. I was also able to not use blocks for one pose and get myself all the way to the floor which I was VERY proud of.

3.) I got tons of compliments on my yoga mat bag and my water bottle holder! A few months back, I started teaching myself how to use a sewing machine, using Jamie's mom's machine that she let me borrow. It's as old as I am, ahahaha, but I've learned how to use it and I took to it kind of, well. Hm. Not like a duck to water, but you know how it goes. I've made a bunch of pouches and such, but I decided that I needed a bag for my new yoga mat and I looked up a tutorial or two and made one. I made a holder for my water bottle so the poor thing wouldn't sweat all over the floor of the studio, ahahaha. But they turned out pretty cute and are exceptionally handy.

So yes, happy things in the middle of a mostly crap day. And I actually feel better for talking about them.

Three happy things per day

1.) Tomorrow this stress bullshit will be over. It'll be over tomorrow morning and I'm trying to not let my nerves get me to this point of feeling sick. But tomorrow, that's it.

2.) A woman in my Yoga class is going to be bring me some information about a possible job that works with people suffering from depression and anxiety and helping them find healthy ways to cope. It sounds, honestly, tailor-made for me and I'm excited about the prospect but also trying to not get my hopes up.

3.) These photos that were recently taken when I got to see my LOVELY fictionalfaerie last week:
