What keeps you fighting?

My mum knew that I find life difficult and even at my lowest points she kept prompting me. She said think of 3 good things each day. It's surprising that even doing that can just keep me going. It can be anything, anything at all from a squeak from my guinea pig , a friendly text or message, a butterfly dancing on the butterfly bush, something funny on the radio, mending something that's been waiting or achievement from the to do list.. or a bit more of your hobby of the moment.. whatever it is find 3 things.  The radio 4 xtra or radio comedy or plays or audiobooks /podcasts are something I rely on. Finding a comedian that you really enjoy who you know will make you laugh .. we're all different so our choices will be. Researching a topic or topics or looking at ideas and websites on your interest like Pinterest or etsy or whatever is your choice. If energy getting out to the fields , going for a drive to get out and finding something interesting or amazing to look at. They're all little every day doable things but these things do help me. On a really bad day I might watch films all day. Anyway these are just a few things I'll probably think of others. I go to sleep listening to something too, sometimes it's gardeners question time or Scotland outdoors, or something like gloomsbury and sometimes it's YouTube sound of a running stream it makes me keep concentrating on that ( doesn't always work but quite often) . 

So Misfit...,what were your there good things (so far) today?
