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?

It's taken nearly 5 years, but the cat that I trapped along with her (older - 8-10 week) kittens, and described as hissing and panting then -- and who has been incredibly reactive, in a blood extracting way about hands passing above her head/body -- paused, looked at my hand passing above her head/body*, and quite visibly decided it was Okay, and didn't even bother to do more than watch my hand go by.

*not done intentionally, or to provoke - just wasn't paying quite enough attention.

... and was just distracted from posting this by having her distribute herself across my right leg, and demand lengthy and extensive pets, purring deeply the whole while.

Patience is a good strategy with cats.
