Because I'm at Publix this early in the morning does this make me one of The Walking Dead?

“You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress at the same time.” Sophia Bush.

We are learning. We are growing. We’re very likely to be doing far better than we tell ourselves.

A brightly coloured hand drawn rainbow fills most of the image, made up of seven bold curved bands in red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, blue, and purple. Each band contains hand written black text in an informal, playful font. The text reads: “You are allowed to make mistakes. There is no time limit to learning and growing. Keep messing up and know you are still so loved!” The rainbow sits against a pale pink background with soft horizontal wavy lines. At the bottom centre, beneath the final rainbow band, the credit “@Anxiety.Positive” is written in small black text. Picture by Anxiety.Positive

“When we acknowledge what we are grateful for, every situation feels a little more workable.” Susan David.

Noticing the smaller everyday moments changes far more than we realise. Gratitude gives a little breathing room to move through today and everyday!

#kindness #Thanksgiving #gratitude

A hand drawn illustration of an orange prescription-style medicine bottle with a loosely sketched, ridged white lid. On the label, the word “GRATITUDE RX” is written in large, uneven, handwritten black letters. Beneath it, the label is divided into four horizontal sections outlined in orange.
The first section has a small yellow sun beside the words “Take a dose every morning,” handwritten in black.
The second section shows a blue eye symbol and the words “May cause shifts in perspective.”
The third section features a pink heart icon next to the words “May cause feelings of abundance.”
The fourth and final section shows a red circle with a diagonal line through it and the words “Decreased feelings of fear and anxiety.”
The drawing has a soft, warm, uplifting feel, offering the idea of gratitude as a daily prescription for wellbeing.

The Hubs just shared with me that I have become crotchety as I age. Apparently, I was more patient with the dogs. I've asked the dogs three times to stop, but they don't. However, once I yell, they listen. I don't think that's "crotchety." What are your thoughts?

Yesterday, after our Parksdale market visit. El Hubs had to use the restroom. As I was waiting for him in the parking lot. I noticed a little kid running alone and close to the road. A lady with her own family had approached the kid asking about his parents.

“Feelings are much like waves, we can’t stop them from coming but we can choose which ones to surf.” Jonatan Mårtensson

It’s ok to feel how you’re feeling.
It’s ok for others to be where they are too.

Illustration with layered shades of blue forming a cloud-like burst pattern filled with small dots and wavy outlines. In the centre, bold black handwritten text reads: You can be happy, hurting and healing at the same time. The background radiates from light blue in the middle to darker blues around the edges, creating a sense of depth and movement. Picture by @joyfulsmolthings

“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” W.B. Yeats

Some things won’t make sense…. there’s still goodness to be found.

Kindness, perspective, hope… our humanness is always there.

From left to right: the March Hare holding a teacup, the Mad Hatter smiling in a green hat, Alice in a blue dress and white apron, the White Rabbit in a red heart waistcoat, and the Cheshire Cat upside down, grinning. Above their heads, the curved text reads: “Things don’t always make sense.” Below their feet, it says: “But there’s still goodness to be found.” Illustration by @wonder.doodles.

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.” John Lennon

We don’t always need a plan.
Sometimes breathing, letting go, and making space is where the magic begins.
Believe in the possibility of what might unfold. 🧡

A bright, uplifting illustration featuring hand-lettered black text on a white background. The text reads: “You don’t always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to breathe, let go + see what happens.” To the right of the words, a bold rainbow stretches vertically in thick bands of pink, red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, and blue, adding a playful and positive energy to the image. The style feels informal, friendly, and encouraging, with a handwritten look that reinforces the warm and supportive message. Credit: @anxiety.positive.

My mind is on recent events because there's a funky odor in the car. Is it something that needs to get thrown out? Did some of my bagel's cream cheese smear get on my beard? Does the cabin air filter need replacing? Hmmm. 🧐 🥯 👃 #Car #Odor #Beard #Filter #Bagel

The Bear Season 4 Episode 9 Tonnato. Cam visits his mom. I was left in tears. This scene was beautifully written. To talk out loud about our pain is heartbreaking at first, but man, how it helps you heal. Loved the scene and this show. 😭❤️‍🩹 #TheBear #Season #Episode #Scene #Pain #Healing #Show
