Daily 5 - Year 2, Day 50

Today's Daily 5:
  1. 1 year, 50 days of making these lists
  2. clicking send on an email containing a prayer request last night, and clicking back to my inbox to discover that another friend (without knowing any details, since she hadn't got the email yet) had already sent me a note containing some specific things she was praying for me.  It was such a "god timing" moment, and made me feel very loved and seen, and made me cry to know that even before I could ask, someone was lifting me up in prayer
  3. getting some sleep last night, even if it did come with some hard dreams.  sometimes the dreams distract me from the fact that with treatments and some supplements helping, I do generally get at least 4 hours of sleep a night, and that, in the years I struggled so deeply with depression, I would have considered four hours of sleep in a row an absolute miracle.
  4. going for a long walk in the autumn air with my mom's cousin who I really enjoy
  5. 2 Corinthians 4:16 in the Message
  6. laughing over a joke about palm trees and the fact that I live someplace sadly lacking in them
  7. discovering that the final transcript I'd ordered for my pending university application had actually arrived as requested.
  8. a decent treatment tonight
  9. reading a powerful essay that a friend sent to me, that was highly applicable to this point in my life.

Personally I like that one the posts it suggests I'll also like is the "You're just going to stay" (california part 2) otter picture post...

Clearly blogger things you should be living by palm trees and staying in california next time you visit, too. Add one more tally to the "people who think you living in this CA is a good idea" thanks to blogger's vote.

hmm... that is not a "suggested" post on my viewing :)

but it did make me laugh that you saw it and decided blogger was on your side :)
