WOW! Great way to wake up on a cold Monday morning.
Thanks @ronnieg63.bsky.social

This was filmed at #BluesAlleyJapan. I found several videos of other performances, but this is my favorite by far.

Today's tea is English Breakfast with half and half. I'm listening to The Winners by Fredrik Backman. It's the last book in The Beartown series and I'm a little sad about it. Outside at the office on my lunchbreak, it is warmer, but it hasn't warmed up enough. #booksky #teasky ☕️🍵🫖 🎧📚 💙📚 #beartown

Totally agree. Being outside is the best therapy. I go out when everyone else is at work, school, etc. #introvert
Yep! 🍵 📖

A limited piece that was part of the Pfaltzgraff Folk Art collection, this is one of my favorite Fall teapots. #Teapot #Pfaltzgraff

Grilled Cheese is my ultimate comfort food and the Corelle plate from my childhood, that I also have, makes it even better.
I rarely make grilled cheese sandwiches, but it's a cold day and I just got home from a short day at work and it seemed appropriate. I need to make them more often. Yummmm!

Rosemary is also wonderful for circulation, immunity, muscle pain, inflammation, eye health, overall immunity, and for nourishing your hair🌿

As well as strengthening the heart, intuition, and self love 🍃

I am realizing how true this is in my life.

“Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and just listen. No more is needed.” Eckhart Tolle

Even just for a very short space of time, slowing down changes everything.

I need to review my day before I retire every night. #NewRitual #Recovery #Trauma
"When we retire at night, we constructively review our day. Were we selfish, dishonest, resentful or afraid? Do we owe an apology?... Were we kind and loving toward all?" #AA BB p. 86 #Recovery #SoberSky

The new starter pack of #sober friends has been started. We need each other and we need to find each other! If you want to be added, just let me know in the comments below. (You can still follow people from the first pack here: bsky.app/starter-pack...) #SoberSky

I am in-between therapists, because of insurance changes, but I found several free teachers on Insight Timer's app. There is a variety of subjects - #journaling, #meditation, #yoga - and teaching styles.

Do you have a favorite #self-care app?

During a day book-ended by some not so fun stuff, this tranquil spot provided a nice reprieve. Some lively colors on the other side of High Point Lake.

Whether a mushroom or a trauma survivor, "It's hard work, to emerge."

I am constantly seeing parts of me that were shaped by my trauma. My personal relationships and my weight issues are the two biggest issues I am still struggling with. #TraumaResponses
When I joined a therapy group of women with trauma histories, I learned there that certain characteristics and behaviors I thought were inherent to who I was were, instead, trauma responses. Understanding this helped me change and become more true to my authentic self. #recoveruposse #Women

I definitely resonate with this...

#Trauma #Relationships
Trauma survivors very frequently notice that the cultural norms around relationships & other priorities don't especially resonate w/ us. And if we can manage the reflexive shame about "not fitting in" w/ cultural attitudes or desires, we realize: that's a feature, not a glitch.

If night time is a trigger for you-- as it is for me, & lots of other trauma survivors-- have a strategy for how to handle what comes up at night. Do not try to just vibe your way through.

Your "parts" & inner child need more from us as the sun goes down.
