Nov 2017

When I feel I'm in the low part of my "cycle," I try to force myself to accomplish some small project or chore. Then I'm entitled to a small treat like a special dinner or a new shirt. These small presents to myself often help to provide some comfort or relief.

I hope you'll have a good night!
