    I stole the idea from a PTSD/abuse forum I'm on but basically, the idea behind this thread is that you share something positive you accomplished, no matter how small, today.

    Like for me, I pushed myself to go to a biggish event the LGBT youth group I volunteer with hosted. I'm not good with crowds but last minute settled on going (and it helped some familiar people, including the kids I volunteer with, were there and my grandma even decided it sounded really awesome and tagged along). Actually had a pretty good time, met new people and reconnected with a lot of other people I hadn't seen in a while (like around the time I got in my abusive relationship).

    So how about you all?

    Well, I got my SAT 2.0 score back, 1260. Which for those of you who don't know the 2.0 scale, in the original grading scale that's a 1790. Which puts me in the top 20% in the country (!):icon_bigg

    I'm proud of feeding the feral cats at work. There are roughly 6 feral cats. Two in particular are quite "tame" already, they sit and wait for me in the mornings, and their tails are up in the air, meaning happy cats, when they see me walking towards their bowls. One of them actually comes running up to me, so excited to get food. There is one other woman who also feeds them, and the other workers put out leftover food for them too. I wish I could cuddle them all, but they aren't quite as trusting yet

    I'm proud of making that phone call. Granted, it wasn't the smoothest call ever and I had to get redirected half a dozen times to get my questions answered but - I'm proud that I did it.

    I surpassed my daily goal at the gym. (Tomorrow I'll want to be dead, but still.)

    I didn't get stressed out at work today, even though I was bouncing all over the place, doing various odd tasks [instead of focusing on one type of work.]

    I hopefully helped a friend and maybe strengthened, in the long term, her relationship with her sister. :slight_smile:

    I felt good today, more positive. My job didn't irritate me at all, and I got to help a few fellow employees. The atmosphere was just lighter. Then I went to a coffee shop, and managed to talk to the girl I've been catching feelings for without being awkward. I don't know, just felt like a good day.
