Happy Belated birthday! Thanks for posting the prompts. I'm going to do it too. I think what you said about the daily actions that "add up" helping more than a weekly session is really profound and has inspired me to do a bit more on mental health too.5

Glad that some of you like the prompts. Today's requires some thinking about - but the MSE crowd features as so many of you here have cheered me on when I needed it.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

My birthday gift and dinner was wonderful. Dinner on an old steam train, 1920s Pullman carriage, armchairs to sit in, table beautifully laid out and wonderful dinner: soup, then small course, sorbet, main course, cheese and biscuits, sweet trolley, coffee and mints. I concluded yesterday evening in the glamour of the train I was born in the wrong era (upstairs being more me than down LOL)
We had such a great time, we would go again. Very late home and shattered this morning but I have just had the best birthday time, I've managed to string the celebrations out, and finished today with my usual Sunday ride on CC and gossip with neighbour and then coffee and the last of the birthday cake.

Belated birthday greetings!! Xx
When I did any massage training it was always drummed into us about the importance of hydration. Whilst I was practicing, new clients had an info sheet to take home with the top point being ' drink lots of water' and I always gave my clients a large glass of chilled water before they got off the couch. Basic knowledge and its a shame people are missing that off.

I've popped the image above. It was from a Facebook group where someone shared it but the source was unknown. I hope you have as much fun with them as I am doing.
These gratitude prompts sound amazing- could you share the source?
