3 Good Things šŸ’–

Got an appointment for the hairdresser this afternoon.
Coffee with my neighbour yesterday.
I have found a new favourite box for my paper waste. Well, some tiny things to focus on.

:collision: My partner being the absolute sweetest goofball, making me blush 12 in a row just by giving me words of affirmation.

:collision: The mental health facility doing their best to help me eat proper food by scrambling it all in a blender (as of september 5th I have only been able to eat fluids or pureed foods and them actively being involved … faith in humanity restored, tbh)

:collision: Feeling less anxious about going home even though I still feel hella scared about the future.

Ecclesiastes is my favourite book of all, but I especially like Ecc. 7:1 – ā€œA good name is better than fine oil, and the day of death is better than the day of birthā€. A really short verse, but it says a lot to me: how are people going to remember me after I leave this planet? What kind of name am I making for myself now while I’m alive? Just…..

Wow. Really punches me in the gut, but in a good way.

Awesome! That indeed is a powerful verse, thanks for sharing. I’m reading the Bible like the old spiritual masters have taught: Old Testament during day and New during evening.

Yeah, the Old Testament can be hard, especially the Books of Moses with all the instructions and laws. Really good you’re reading Luke daily!

  • Good reggae music, again. I know, I’m repeating myself, but reggae lifts me up and makes me smile.
  • All the counselors in my supported housing. They help me sincerely every single day.
  • My few friends who are also sober. It’s so good to be in contact with them every day.

The Book of Numbers has always been a tough one for me, where it’s basically taking a census of the nation of Israel, reading off long lists of names that are difficult to pronounce, unless you are fairly well-versed in Hebrew.
