I’ve been MIA, I know, and I have no excuse. I have been dealing with things. Okay, probably not just things. I mean mental health things as usual. But things are getting better for once. And for that’s I’m grateful.
I’m off Rexulti now and have started Topamax. I hope the new medication will work fine and also help me lose weight. I appreciated that my psychiatrist finally took my weight gain into consideration and decided to change my medication. Although I’m not overweight, I’m heavier than I want to be.
The reason I wanted to start my gratitude journal is that last year I focused so much on my work that I felt like a failure. My book sales were not as big as they were the previous year. But then I realized that there are other things in my life that I did quit well. I could actually say that I nailed the other parts. Since then I have started to appreciate my life more.
I want to write my journal every day, but I don’t know if I can do that. I think sometimes it’d be hard to think of a good thing. It’s not that things are bad in particular. But it’s just that nothing is happening. Still, I’ll try my best.
Today my husband’s friend visited our home for a few minutes, and I’m grateful for our long lasted friendship. I’m also grateful for the new book that I’ve read. It’s called the Strangest Secret. I’m grateful for my friend who I’ve told about this journal and who is probably reading about this right now. And I’m grateful that I’ve started this journal.
That’s it for today.
