Happiness: I was instructed to make Art. (Does my makeup count?)

Gratitude: Write about an article of clothing you're grateful for:

The brown cardigan that I wear all the time was from my grandmother. I love its simplicity because my grandmother always wore the boldest, most heavily patterned or ornamented clothes. I think I like it so much because it is unassuming. It doesn't draw attention to itself. The way I dress is very understated and it is that way because I am kind of shy. It may surprise anyone who knows me to hear me describe myself in this way, but here's why. I don't approach people, they make me nervous. I am stable and I am dependable, but I don't think I am particularly interesting. Maybe that's why I wear understated clothing, because I believe myself to be understated. I can work on that. I do not anticipate changing my personality, but at least being aware that I behave this way.

Move Forward: A reminder not to run away from problems, fix them and face them. I still haven't had a problem per se. I was contacted by my ex last night. I'm sure the most appropriate thing to do would have been to ignore the message. But I didn't run away. I wanted to understand his motivation for the message and be patient with him. I believe, his healing doesn't have to affect mine. I will not make the same mistakes as before of being too available and feeling it was my job to help my ex get back on his feet. That's not my job. It prohibited me from my own healing-- however, if I remind myself of that and I am able to fix this problem I believe all will be well. All will be okay. In time.
