I went to acupuncture with a 3 day headache. I was able to find a zone of peace and some resolution and woke feeling better. I am grateful for my acupuncturist and his knowledge

I resolved some recent feelings of aloneness. After a few weeks of intense genology research. I was feeling alone, and left behind by family. But resolved I can miss them but not continue to hold them back.

I got my acceptance offer to study in University of Melbourne!

It is a perfect opportunity to learn more about the science of positive psychology and to develop my growth in all areas of my life.

My extended family threw an unplanned barbecue, providing delicious food and a ride for my family.

Spent an excellent afternoon with my family, eating well, talking, had a delightful walk and got safely back home.

Sapolsky wrote a lot of thanks and acknowledgements on his Zebras' book, made me realize how much cooperative effort is necessary to achieve good things.

Besides being an excellent read, made me feel a little more optimistic about our society (that cooperates a lot, all the time), and less pressure over having to achieve something personally (I struggle with high standards and high performance), since society is doing very well without me thanks to our nameless masses cooperating. Humanity is like a functional organism, and I'm but a cell.

My son acted so cute and lovely. He likes to sleep everyday resting on my shoulder while I walk back and forth lulling him. He held my face, said something funny, gave me a kiss on the forehead and hugged me before resting his head again on my shoulder.

Made me feel loved, appreciated and a good father.

I was able to consult a doctor remotely, get some exams prescriptions and schedule a time for someone to come to my home to collect my blood.

This saved me a lot of time, avoided some covid risk exposure and was much more comfortable. I was glad I perceived society improving and supporting me.
