Daily 5 - Year 2, Day 362

Today's Daily 5:

1. Another nap (still having rough nights of sleep... hoping that will change soon!)
2. harvesting green beans from my garden and sharing the produce with a whole bunch of family members
3. a beautiful hoodie as a belated birthday gift from my brother and his girlfriend
4. an extended family birthday party that was actually mostly fun (since they sometimes leave me wanting to sob from loneliness, fun is something to celebrate and be thankful for!)
5. brownie cake, with whipped cream and raspberries - so good.
6. bonus: my cousin (who is a chef) made an appetizer with smoked brie on toasted baguette with some sort of raspberry compote stuff.  It was TASTY.

Taught to Rebel

So, two things ran through my mind when I spotted this on pinterest the other day:

1. So funny!
2. Don't let the folks who are into boycotting Disney see this one!  It will only give them ammunition!

A Reminder from Garfield

Every so often a Garfield comic strip reminds me of lessons I'm learning about self-care, self-love, and self-confidence.  This strip from earlier this week was one of those times:

I need the reminder that how I see myself matters.  That I need to give myself the freedom to compliment myself and enjoy it, rather than just critique myself.

So, Garfield once again made me smile and taught me a lesson!  Hurrah!
