I am feeling so very good tonight. This interim after family has left but before classes have started has been quite nice. :) Yesterday I hiked twice, alone and then with others. (The photos are from the first trail.) Today I ate twice, once alone and once with others. And I only cleaned my room today, but I also happily heard from a friend I have been missing. I feel full, and proud of myself for not hiding out too much in my room, and close to peaceful, hehe. And, I just made my first cup of tea with my (very fancy, hehe) electric kettle, and it was ridiculous! It boiled 2 cups of water in 40 seconds. Very fancy, as I said. I’m happy. I think hanging photos changes a lot of how a room feels. It may not look very good (even though I think it does, but the walls may just look cluttered), but I feel surrounded by some silent support which urges me closer to normal, closer to a home in my heart.
