What was the best thing about today?

I did the food shop without the mental negotiation about the middle aisle. That has never happened.

My knees did not announce themselves on the stairs at work.

My shoulders came down from around my ears at some point in the last month.

I got through a whole phone call standing up.

I noticed my own breathing while making the bed, and then noticed that I usually do not notice it, which is new.

Honestly? That I have been quietly miserable for a fortnight and have told nobody until this box.

Bent down to tie a shoelace and stood back up in one movement.

The bus was late and I walked instead. A year ago I would have waited in the rain out of pure resignation.

The thing I noticed is that I am tired of noticing things. Some weeks I would like to just get on.

That I have stopped bracing for the bad three days, because there have not been bad three days in a while.

My knees did not announce themselves on the stairs at work.

I put on a coat I had put at the back of the wardrobe out of spite, and it was comfortable.
