My 'for me' today: playing on the piano a bit, spending a few minutes sketching (nothing worth sharing yet), and spending a couple of hours visiting with my middle stepson. I love this stage of them being/becoming adults and figuring out we were right all along.

Adding some beauty to pay for all of my crabbiness today. Trying to remember that the small good things in life can overpower even the big bad things.

My 'for me' yesterday was a little simpler. I decided I was tired and I went to sleep. Usually evenings are "I've got to do" this or that. Even if it is I've got to do something positive. This time I thought, I want to go to sleep. And so I did.

A bonus "for me" today was a chance to get out on one last kayak ride for the year. My first this year was March 15 and my last over 8 months later on November 17. Not a bad attempt at extending our northern Minnesota summer. 😎

My "for me" today was a solo hike at Savannah Portage State Park. Started out aiming for a 3 mile hike and ended up going almost 6. There's something beautiful about the quiet and decay before the bright white of winter takes over.

Some beauty to remind me...

My "for me" today was playing a little on the piano again (something that I haven't done regularly in years) and listening to Loud of the Rings: The King Returns on Audible while doing my regular things. Tolkien just seems fitting in these days.

Another credit of beauty to counter my debt of frustration and anger. I feel like this is my form of a swear jar. It will either teach me not to focus on anger and frustration or it will at least provide me with a bank of beauty and positivity to purchase some peace of mind.

Some pretty northern lights from our little sailboat. Maintaining my oath to post something happy or beautiful for every crabby, frustrated post or reply that I put out there. Working to remember the beauty.

My "for me" today was taking 15 minutes to play around on the kiddo's digital piano and play some old sheet music that I learned when I was a kid. I wasn't great then and I'm certainly worse now but creating something, even just pretty noise feels good right now.

The last couple of weeks have left me pretty cynical and feeling kind of dark. I've decided I need to find a way to take back me- to not lose myself in my roles and tasks. Each day I'm going to try to post some thing, however small, that I'm doing just FOR ME.

I've decided that for every post or reply that I have that is frustrated, irritated, crabby, angry, etc, that I will post something that makes me happy in return. I have to keep the balance and remind myself that some things are beautiful, kind, peaceful, loving, amusing, and just generally nice.

It's good to know that there are still some things in the world that can make me smile. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
