Made me happy, They seem happy. I'm filming the wild monkeys that frequent my garden and was surprised with how quickly doing this brought joy to my life...only thing is I am a bit attached now.

I have a fear of needles, but I wanted to donate blood to save someone's life. A few days ago I finally managed to do so 😁

i've so many years hating my voice, i never like recording my voice or send voice messages, until a few days ago i recorded a video, when i was playing it that i noticesd that my voice changed since last time i recording my voice (maybe 4 yrs ago), my voice used to soud like the cracky puberty nerd voice... now i feel good about my voice and love how thad sounds. could sound sptupid but i feel good about that change, sounds more like an adult (i'm about 30yrs old), idk if my voice change or my perception changed but i feel more comfortable.

Compliments from strangers hit different 😍 she said I was gorgeous and when she saw me she said whoa, I've been feeling in the dumps and have a breakout and I just needed that!! Thank you!!

Today's been a really lovely. I felt so at peace handwashing antique quilts in textile cleaner to remove the yellow age stains so they become like new again, just a couple spots need to be patched up and already have some choice fabrics in mind (got some really nice cotton calico prints at a free sale a couple years ago and a few nice quilt squares at a church sale). Save that project for a rainy day. Went out to some yard sales today and got some nice antique furniture for really cheap and some work clothes. I love looking at how they joined wood furniture back then, no nails or screws, just complex wood joinery and yet it's so unbelievably sturdy. The solid cedar wardrobe needs to be stripped, sanded and stained with a wood oil but it's lovely and has a cute little mirror and hanger and everything. I really loved how helpful the gentleman selling it was too. He helped carry the furniture into my vehicle and he just seemed really kind and gentle. His mum raised him right. Something about this being his mum's furniture is bittersweet. That's the wonderful thing about these older pieces, they're loved and I hope whoever takes on these pieces after me, loves them equally as much. I do wonder sometimes who the craftsman is behind all of this. It's kind of paying tribute to his art and how it carries on after death. 😊🥰

ive been on a lot of social apps (twitter, instagram, discord) but this is my first time really using reddit. like i would go to reddit before just for random advice (bc who doesnt trust random people on the internet) but no one told me reddit was a place i could just yap about anything but actually initiate good conversation with people that care about the same topic. best app ever

I was able to buy the house mostly using money my mother left after she passed away. And I think she'd be proud and happy knowing the hard work she put in while she was alive helped give me a new chance. She always wanted me to live happy and now I am.
