Love is sharing your popcorn.
Charles Schultz
I recently found this quotation and thought it was cute so am sharing for One-Liner Wednesday. I also can’t help thinking about the person I have lately been sharing my popcorn with…. ❤
Love Is…

Hey look, a dog!
I love when I am walking and see a dog. The bad part is, right when the dog gets close, its owner pulls it away, so as not to “bother” me. But it’s like, “No, I want to be bothered by your dog!”
I am feeling extra depressed today, so am Just Jotting. Maybe I will go to the coffee shop. Part of my depression is that I’m not getting enough hours at work, but I’m not sure how functional I’d be at work, anyway. I image-searched “sad coffee” and found this:
Sijo: Gifts
As usual, here is my sijo for this week’s prompt, “gift,” the night before it is “due.” 🙂
About a dozen gifts for me, wrapped under the Christmas tree:
There is much to appreciate, but among my favorites are
A book to take me far away, and a blanket to keep me warm.
(Another favorite was a very squishy and cute plushie cat, which I have decided to name Squishy.)
Best of 2022
This week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge is “The Best of 2022.” I’m torn between having another existential crisis at the passage of this year and being at peace with it. In any case, I’ll celebrate the good times. 🙂
More Kangaroos
My last photo from the month of November:
I took a picture of my plushie kangaroo and joey, Rooby and Timmy, and sent it to the person who gave it to me, just to tell him that I still love it. 😁 You can also see my Divine Mercy Jesus in the background.
Cute but Fierce :)
For One-Liner Wednesday, I have another “Midweek Meme.” For whatever reason, I found this hilarious and cute!
Sometimes I feel like that little kitten when I have to fight against depressive thoughts and feelings. I’m the little kitten, and the depression and related difficulties are like a full-grown lion.
I am glad to be able to inform you (all 10 or 15 of you 🙂 ) that I made some necessary appointments today that I’ve had to do for months but haven’t seen the point until now. It is a small step but still something I am sort of proud of, something to “celebrate,” even if everyone else would expect more.
Today’s Highlight
DUCKIES!!!!!!!

Ten Things of Thankful
After seeing Astrid’s post and thinking about my day today (it’s late afternoon), I wanted to write a post for Ten Things of Thankful (TToT). This is my first contribution to that link-up. 🙂
- First of all, and probably most importantly, I am not feeling so depressed today, due to a few happy things that happened and also, probably, pure luck. Also, God must have decided not to actually let the depression get the better of me, although He tends to let me wallow in it. Sometimes I think God is a little sadistic, but that doesn’t ring true with what I know and am taught about God, so I try to believe what I know and not how I feel all the time.
- I am thankful for the time spent with a friend today. This is a good friend from college whom I am still close with, and we see each other every few weeks or so.
- I am thankful for what we decided to do this morning: take a walk in a big park. I hadn’t done that in quite a while, and the weather was perfect for it today.
- The weather was cool enough to enjoy being outside, yet I did not need a jacket, and the sky was a bit gray but not too overcast. Now it is a nice blue. 😀
- I am grateful for a new flavor of soda that I got to try today. Also, this soda is only 5 calories for the whole bottle. I’m not supposed to be concerning myself with calories and that stuff, but it does make me feel better to know that this soda is not bad for me.
- I am grateful for all the cute little doggies and the fearless squirrel that we saw in the park.
7. I am grateful for Youtube. There is good Catholic teaching on there, as well as rosaries and other prayers, and even a community in the form of live-streamed prayer groups.
8. I am grateful for my job. I like having money 🙂 and although I don’t always want to go in to work, I usually feel better once my workday starts, and by the time it is finished, I feel productive and like my life matters a little more. In general, I enjoy my job, even though I am technically overqualified.
9. This is where the gratitude list is getting tough, but I really want to reach 10 things…. I am grateful for my plushie kangaroo because it makes me smile every day.
Here is my kangaroo, pictured with my rosary and a one-decade rosary ring,
which it is “holding,” because apparently my kangaroo is Catholic too.
10. I am grateful for my brain, because even though it makes me feel depressed a LOT, it is pretty smart, and it likes to write. I like that I like to write, especially poetry! 😀
11. Oooh, I have an eleventh thing! I am grateful that the coffee stain came out of my white robe!
