One of the not so good things about having a low-grade case of the morbs is you don't see the good in things, even though you know they're there. Thankfully the depression is passing, but this Dev Card came just at the right time. I've had a day in front of the spreadsheets and something that's easy to write is good.
The card I pulled reads " Write a reverse bucket list. A list of everything you have already achieved and experienced."
Again, having the morbs means that I'm not in the most positive frames of mind - but this might help.
It will be in dot points.
Here we go.
Stuff I've achieved and experienced. Not a definitive list.
- I've earned a Master's degree.
- And a Bachelor's degree.
- I write everyday. It's twaddle, but I do it every day.
- I've been to more than 17 countries.
- I've travelled extensively, and mostly by myself. I love to travel.
- I got out of Adelaide... and never went back.
- I managed to lose my virginity - 16-year-old me never thought that would happen.
- I own a cat.
- I have friends
- I'm well read.
- I've solvent and debt free.
- I can leg press 160 kilograms (that was my top weight tonight - 12 reps)
- I've kept myself gainfully employed throughout life in work I generally enjoy (Long may that remain)
- I normally read at least a book a week
- I'm arty in the nicest possible way.
- I've been to see the Taj Mahal
- And Nitmiluk Gorge (Katherine Gorge)
- And Milford Sound in the New Zealand South Island
- I've overcome my fear of magpies. I'm still wary of them, but the maggies at home are okay. We say hello to each other now.
- I've had a gym membership for over 20 years - and it still gets used 2-4 times a week.
- I have fallen in love
- I read tarot cards well
- Animals love me - I love them, but animals are the best
- I'm good at starting arguments from 10 kilometres away.
- I have looked after my body well - thanks to the gym and reasonably clean living.
- I've lived on a Greek Island for a bit.
- And illegally in England for a number of years.
- I've stopped worrying about what people think about me
- And I'm learning to ask for help, when needed.
I know there's more that I've done - but this will do for the moment. I can tell myself life isn't that bad.
