What’s bringing me joy ? When I go back home after a day of work and my daughters (7y) run towards me with a real smile. Knowing that she is really happy to see me.

My cat has been extra cuddly lately. Earlier she slept in my arms using one as a pillow.

Partner and kitties. When they (kitties) aren't screaming at me while I'm on the phone for work while wfh. So fucking rude. That's sarcasm. No one seems able to infer it anymore.
Cats are brats but too cute so they can get away with whatever
My cats
Love my kitter cat, for being a free street cat, she has brought me immeasurable joy over the years

The closest friend i made since moving abroad alone 2 years ago, changed their mind and they are not moving out of the city. Also, two of my favorite bands put out killer new albums that fit the eternal combo of coffee+tobacco really well

Cycling now that the weather's warmer. My family and pets. Coffee and word games.
Thanks for the reminder to look for the good. I often feel like there should be so much more, but I know that's more than some people have, so I should feel lucky.

Started a new job that I landed after nearly a year of being unemployed. 100's of applications and maybe 10 interviews for my effort. I finally get a break from that fucking slog.
That's amazing, congratulations! I despise looking for jobs
Thank you so much!
I’m working on a project that’s really important to me - and I think that there’s a good chance I’ll see it through to completion at this point.
Admittedly, outside of that project… my life has not really been doing much for me lately. I’m glad to have something right now that’s helping keep me stable and sane in a world that really feels like it’s falling apart, but sometimes it really feels like I’m working to finish it and get it out there before life becomes a bit too much.

The possiblities. The potential. Recently I have overcome my trauma and I have energy to spare on doing things I want to do.

I quit my unecessarily stressful job with no plan next, and I feel like anything is possible now!
Post surgery sick leave. My body is still a bit fucked but it's also the most time off I've had in one go in years.

I quit a higher paying job to move to the Columbia River gorge. Sure I make a lot less money but I'm so happy being out in this beautiful area. There's something calming about it
