What brought you joy today?

A mindfulness session

Listening mostly. I do play the piano occasionally, which also makes me feel better.

Amen!

Once I could move from bed to wheelchair in the hospital, the first thing I did was start making my own good, loose-leaf tea and toast every morning in the patient lounge.

I had barely been eating for the first couple of months post-surgery and had lost 40 lb — (good, loose-leaf) tea and toast were my first steps back to health, and are still my joyful start to every morning.

Flying in my friend's plane to celebrate my upcoming 3rd cancer anniversary (still going strong).

Giving love to others (humans or animals) is a great way to find joy for yourself!

What brought me joy today is knowing we rescued two young cats two days ago. A challenging first night with them, last night was sooo much better. And to see my husband actively engaged with them. I look forward to seeing their personalities shine and change our house.

How adorable!!!

This little scamp.

Today, I was examined in the hospital and my blood sugar before meals was 6.0. I'm very happy.
As blood sugar rose in March this year, it was 9.8 before meals and 14.3 after meals.
My urinary incontinence is almost improved and the water is ding dong again. After six months of treatment and improvements in my diet, my blood sugar has finally come down, and my incontinence will probably recover by the end of the year.
