Little: My one cat always hops up each evening to snuggle me before going under the bed to sleep.

Medium: I have been moving my body in some way almost daily and even though the scale hasn’t budged my body feels SO good for doing this.

Big: I have completed 65 days of the 100 day project (painting 100 tiny watercolor beaches) which means I’ve consistently painted for 7 weeks! I don’t remember the last thing I have done that consistently and I am loving all the little scenes I’ve done.

Krissie, these are such powerful joys!

To do anything consistently for 7 weeks is huge. I'd love to see some of your watercolors if you'd ever be up for sharing!

Perfect timing. And I am not surprised. I was asking someone else about something they did, art wise. They shared it was on Canva. I haven’t gotten the app yet. Taking that step soon. Walking, hiking, outdoors, helps me mentally, physically, spiritually & emotionally as much as anything. Except for your third share: an outdoor project. The space you envisioned turned out spectacular! Great work by both you & Nate. Teamwork :-) Something about focusing on an outdoor project that soothes the savage death replays in my brain. At 34 1/2 months in and another heart wrenching loss three weeks ago, I can say I feel like I am just beginning to breathe again. Thank you Dana, for all you write, document & share. I appreciate you. The girls (fur babes) and I are coming to join you on one of those outdoor days soon!!! Can’t wait!

Thank you for sharing, Julia. I'm so glad you feel like you're able to begin to breathe again. Sometimes that's the biggest "joy" of all. And you're right about an outdoor project - it soothes something in my brain too.
