difficult day, please send goodness?

[elisem]

 When sadness, grief, anger, and lifelong major depression intersect, some days are unpleasant cactus gardens of spiky despair.

(I'm going to apply some workbench time, which almost always improves almost anything. But being motivated to go from this chair to that one is a lot of work right now.)

If you could remind me of some good thing in the world, or something good or sweet you saw or did, or some memory of us together or hope for being so in the future, it would be a great kindness, if you have the oomph to spare for it.

(Given past experience as a guide, I will get through this, but today everything feels at least temporarily insurmountable and made of despair.)

Tell me something good? Please? If you can?

I keep starting to put in things that are good, but too badness-adjacent, I think, to be right at the moment.

Late last night as I toiled up the steps with a load of laundry, well past my bedtime, the perfect half-moon looked in the stairway window at me. It had planets for company.

Oh! I know! Trans activist Erin Reed has made a list of trans Girl Scouts from whom you can order cookies online. I have ordered some from a mite of a theater kid at heart (she says, and she should know) and am looking for a few more from a different kid.
