On a day when my mind went round and round in rumination, I had little to give me a reprieve.

Or, so I thought.

I found little, oh-so-little things to help me out.

First, a good cry. 😒

Second was finding the will for a walk around the block. 🚢🏽‍♀️

Third, was pruning some weeds at the front of the house. On a day when I had motivation for NOTHING, when I started this therapeutic job, I actually couldn't stop. πŸƒ

Fourth, music. 🎢

Fifth... a 10 second hug. πŸ₯° It's apparently meant to last for at least that long for your body to let go of stress and realise its in the presence of love and support. πŸ€—

Nothing is magically better at the end of the day, of course, but somehow, all of these things lifted me, and will take me into tomorrow with a bit more hope.
