Reasons to be Cheerful

I want to do this weekly but keep missing it! But I have made it today so that in itself is a reason to be cheerful!

So my reasons this week are:

  1. I have started CBT for a little issue I have been having with anxiety and a fear of death and after 4 sessions have realised that infact considering the last 8 years, it might be quite normal
  2. I am nearly finished writing a 30 page meeting report that I have been putting off and putting off and I can;t wait to send it over
  3. The school's special needs co-ordinator is eventually back after being signed off since the beginning of the year and I am meeting with her about Little Man (see my last post if you are interested in what these concerns are)
  4. It's nearly the weekend and I would like to get the hallway a bit closer to being decorated
  5. I am picking up a secondhand freezer that someone at school is giving us so we are going to take a trip to the butchers around 4ish when they practically giving the meat away so we can stock up
  6. This horrid, wet weather does at least mean we get to snuggle up in front of the woodburner
  7. I am feeling much more confident about myself and my abilities
  8. The boy's school photos are really nice this year!
Think that is my lot this week, pop over to Michelle's blog to see everyone elses x

Lovely reasons. I had some CBT about a year back and it really helped me to come to terms with certain things and move forward in a positive way. I hope it continues to help you :) x

Wow so many great reasons.
My experience with CBT wasn't great but if it's helping you, fantastic! I think I was in the wrong place mentally.
A 30 page meeting report? I can't possibly imagine why you were putting that off! Well done on getting it nearly completed.
Good luck with the meeting at school. Having read the last post I hope you get a satisifactory resposne.
Have a fab weekend x

I too have the fear of death thing going on or rather just getting cross that it will happen at some point. Grief playing its weird games I suppose.
Number 7 makes me so very happy
