So. 2020. That happened. Here’s my review of the past year.

I wish everyone a *MUCH* better year ahead.

Message of the day:

You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to say no. You are allowed to put yourself first. Your first responsibility in your life is caring for yourself. Sometimes that means doing the laundry, other times it’s taking a shower, or sometimes its canceling plans and taking some time to sleep and heal. 

Your physical and emotional health are undeniably linked. Just as you should not be expected to carry on as normal when your body is compromised, you should not expect yourself to ignore emotional pain or sickness. Treat your body and mind with kindness, no matter how small. You matter, your happiness and health matter. Fighting doesn’t mean you can’t rest, in fact, it makes it more important.

Ever since I first saw Endgame, I recognized the depth in Thor's story that maybe some who don't battle mental (or chronic) illness wouldn't. No matter what you're dealing with, or how much you struggle: You are still worthy. Nice to see a counselor agrees with me: https://www.whereyouarecounseling.com/blog/2019/9/13/what-thor-taught-us-about-depression-and-self-worth #youareworthy #depression #chronicillness #chronicillnessmemes #depressionmemesarethebest https://www.instagram.com/p/CKRL22vBwDEWYZ0d8izUOWwSuc6fQSCNkYB8R80/?igshid=1e74ihz7w0g4i

Mental health + Halloween humour? Ok. Because sometimes you have to force yourself to look inside your bag of hammers and smile, if not laugh. #mentalhealthawareness #laughterisgoodforthesoul #laughteristhebestmedicineexceptactualmedicine https://www.instagram.com/p/CG7UapQhtE4r9oCb0yxdbM6RBuPrV_abRjAEV80/?igshid=1aqwohinmx5xu

It's cold and winter's just starting But the view ain't bad at least. With a weekend finally here, I'd like to just stay right where I am until Monday if I could. No anxiety; just warm covers, grey skies and a hot cup of tea. https://www.instagram.com/p/CIaupcpBQAhoL7u0Ks41b1hkOsVha_Nt5YlirQ0/?igshid=esp9vvuphfml

Some great movies got made in the 80s. And the best ones starred Arnold Schwarzenegger. 😅 They're not always the best at predicting the future. But they got some of this one right. #guesswhatmovieimwatching #thebutcherofbakersfield #fuckimold https://www.instagram.com/p/CBMRM6EBMU4MVEv3s8-HR1TgJ9eYeaK-sE_j740/?igshid=1h2o4ej8vsc2v
