Here's a view of my city I haven't had in oh, 25 years. #citytransit #buspeople #nothavingwheelsmustreallysuck https://www.instagram.com/p/BzgcEDvBoHSPaqmZwNKnsfZe5ImbqebfLNVNK00/?igshid=1mlomxabdc2sw

But what if it's been with you so long that you can't remember who that person was? #mentalillness #mentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/CU7WLa9rYVGE5ogp7qASs3NNWjv8j_dHfoVKW80/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's cold and winter's just starting But the view ain't bad at least. With a weekend finally here, I'd like to just stay right where I am until Monday if I could. No anxiety; just warm covers, grey skies and a hot cup of tea. https://www.instagram.com/p/CIaupcpBQAhoL7u0Ks41b1hkOsVha_Nt5YlirQ0/?igshid=esp9vvuphfml

Some great movies got made in the 80s. And the best ones starred Arnold Schwarzenegger. 😅 They're not always the best at predicting the future. But they got some of this one right. #guesswhatmovieimwatching #thebutcherofbakersfield #fuckimold https://www.instagram.com/p/CBMRM6EBMU4MVEv3s8-HR1TgJ9eYeaK-sE_j740/?igshid=1h2o4ej8vsc2v

“Watch the sunrise at least once a year, put a lot of marshmallows in your hot chocolate, lie on your back and look at the stars, never buy a coffee table you can’t put your feet on, never pass up a chance to jump on a trampoline, don’t overlook life’s small joys while searching for the big ones.”

— H. Jackson Brown, Jr. (via movemequotes)

Welcome to Day 12. Calvin has always been a favourite. I hope everyone's day is as good as it can be. #day12 #12daysofxmaspuns #12daysofxmasjokes #mentalhealthawareness #lookafteryourselfovertheholidays https://www.instagram.com/p/B6f2JzMh8sjuUsMa3DehegFvwUNQCu6kGifjZo0/?igshid=ux8x0owqbnyf

I'd like to be able to think about this past year this way...

Who you vote for is no one's business but your own. But it only takes a few minutes to exercise a privilege so many people in the world are denied. And if you don't vote, you don't get to complain about whatever government gets formed tonight, imo. #election2019 #canadavotes #dontvotedontbitch https://www.instagram.com/p/B35HWTRB56ZTDlK0xNA6tpAPX1R8ts5O8LB66o0/?igshid=4814v1acqtpo

So it's the end of the year, and as everyone's feeds flood with gratitude and year end or new year resolution posts, my contribution is my 2019 Good Things Jar. I've been filling one of these jars each year for a couple of years now. I'm not as good at tracking all of the good things as I would like to be. But this post and the exercise itself isn't about beating myself up. Exactly the opposite, actually. When I think about something worth noting that happens to me, whether a once in a lifetime occasion or a moment of daily trivia that just hits me, I do my best to write it down and stuff it in the jar. Reading through these little notes is awesome for reflection for me. For helping me get some much needed perspective, when I'm writing the notes, and when I take the time to look back. So I'll keep doing these jars. I would encourage anyone who hasn't done something like this to try it out, or something else like it. It helps. We can all too easily get caught up in the things that stress us, that we consider our failures, our losses, and lose sight of the beauty, the small victories. The things that make it worth it. #perspective #practicinggratitude #jarsformentalhealth #sothatwas2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/B6w1JbbhkSN3DycwpUcxAVqYK4NlkUqtxYWxgs0/?igshid=swg0yactkzkq
