Tough Two Weeks

I've had a rough, stressful two weeks. My mother-in-law fell off a ladder two weeks ago today. It took three or four days for her to go to the doctor.

Today, I went to the wedding reception of one of my sisters. At first, I felt out of place -- there were a lot of people there and I didn't know most of them.
Having kids playing and strangers passing by brought out the worst "social anxiety" I've felt in a long time. But, the food was ready within 45 minutes and we gathered in groups to eat. I started feeling more comfortable after we all sat down. We ate outside in/on her carport and at tables lined up on her back yard.

Hi, again.

I haven't written on here for quite a while. I just want to say; we should be thankful for the good things in life. And, there are almost always good things if you just look around.

I try to write down my good times as well as the bad.
Sometimes I use a special notebook for good times. I call it my "Happiness Journal."

Seeing a rainbow, horses, nice cars or pretty scenery cheers me up and I record that for future memories.
I want to remember being happy, especially when I'm having trouble in life.
