This project has helped me to stay off social media and it is helping me feel steady and calm even though the election is 4 days away. I feel needed and appreciated by my get-out-the-vote group, and my phone banking skill has improved a lot, where I now feel confident and impactive.
Feel needed and appreciated and very competent.

Taking my walk this morning I enjoyed the crisp fall air and seeing that the leaves are starting to change. Fall is always my favorite part of the year!
Made me feel happy!

Agradezco que soy una mujer inteligente y que no se da por vencida, que puedo resolver situaciones en las que solemos pedir ayuda y yo logro salir adelante y resolverlo.

My mom drove for a really long time today. Traffic was awful
I was able to get to school. She seemed really upset that traffic was so bad but she still drove me

Today I tried to cultivate gratitude for my mother. She can be quite difficult to be around. I've spent the past 10 days helping her through numerous doctor's visits and one surgery. And she definitely tries my patience. But today, I went for a walk and thought about all that she's given me and how much she wants me around. And I thought how grateful I am to be loved by her, even though her expressions of love can feel like nagging and stubbornness. In truth, this is how she shows me that she cares about me.
My mother has given me the gift of life and cared for me throughout my life. Being grateful for her helped me have more patience and compassion for her.

Texted me and we had a long conversation about children we love. I had not heard from her for a couple months, and although I know she is extremely busy with a very young family, I was worried that I had offended her. I am a little insecure 🥴. But we had a lovely e-chat and I am so happy to hear from her. She is a person I greatly admire and I treasure her friendship. We have nothing in common in our social circles, but we shared an experience for 5 years and for me, the bond is permanent. Thank God for people like K.
Reassured me that an important friendship is still strong.

"Means TV" is sanity in the newsstream. THANK YOU!
I don't feel like one of the only communists in this part of the world.

I'm my husbands caretaker, i do a lot for him. He doesn't have many mobility issues, and is more dependent right now than he has been in the past. But he's unable to work and is quite sick most days so he doesn't really move around much. We were talking last night about how life is going to be for me when he dies and he stopped talking and looked at me and expressed how grateful he was to me for sticking by his side and not running away. So many of the other couples in our situation split and the sick spouse always goes downhill fast afterwards. It's not easy on either party. But he's grateful that I'm here and fighting this battle with him.
I'm glad he thanked me, I deserve the gratitude from him. But also, I would take care of him even if he wasn't grateful just because of how much I love him.

On the last day of October, in the Northeast, I picked a handful of tomatoes that ripened on the vine despite many of their leaves being ruined by freezing temperatures a few nights.
Made me happy because I love tomatoes and made me proud and grateful for my amazing daughter who planted the magnificent garden.

I'm thankful for myself. I don't give myself enough credit for the things I've done.
Everything I've gone through pushes me to be a better/more developed person, and I should be thankful that I have always kept an open mind about growth, because I would be different if I was stuck in my ways

I am visiting family on the East Coast. My mother is about to undergo surgery and I am here to help her through it. Today is a thoughtful and yet productive day for me so far as I prepare for the next two days with my mother.
While it's stressful, I'm feeling grateful to be with loving family and to be enjoying such lovely autumn weather here.

My husband had his retirement ceremony after 40 years of service in the US Navy this past Friday; while it was very stressful getting that ceremony to come off without a hitch, he was so reflective and thoughtful about the ceremony and wrote me the most beautiful letter that he had tucked into the flowers that were presented to me as part of the ceremony. He made me feel so honored and appreciated and loved, and it was so public for all to see--that it was our family's sacrifice, not just his profession.
solidified our commitment and acknowledged that we are partners in this life through all journeys

I was wallowing in self pity and despair yesterday, it was a crap day. I'm watching my husband get more ill and waste away, my finances are terrible, wage garnishments pending, my car is breaking down, I'm overwhelmed! But this morning I woke up and got a second chance. I want to take a moment to appreciate and be grateful for the opportunity to try again. Reset! I'm going to be grateful today.

Slept well and still feel optimistic after a resilient day yesterday and a very successful do-over' in my election project

Resilience. I am deeply concerned about the election, and I have been doing some phone banking. I hate the phone and seldom answer mine. My friends know I will call them back. But this election is so important that I decided to volunteer as a phone banker. I have 10 years of customer service experience, so I am quite able. (Thankfully).
But a few days ago I went on social media to say goodbye, and then I deleted the account. That hour or so of doom-scrolling set me up to neglect this project. Thought I would catch up later.
I ended up in a fairly dark and unhappy place. But I learned years ago to keep moving, and I did so.
Long story long, I got back up and I have had a wonderful day including some very successful phone banking.
Note to self: doNOT procrastinate this project!!!

I came back to the happy place that I had found when I began my 21 day challenge.
