Hooray!! I finally found the time to journal early!!! Today has been rough to be honest. Yeah, sadly Clay caught the stomach bug and I'm the only one who hadn't caught it (thankfully) but I feel bad for all my brothers. But I do have some good news.....Branch and John Dory are recovering pretty quickly as we are estimating that they will get better by tomorrow. Spruce is getting there too. But don't worry as Clay is feeling a little better than this morning and when I mean this morning, I meant like 3 in the morning. Yeah, we were all up due to hearing poor Clay puke. 

So, we all pretty much stayed at Branch's Bunker as I took care of all of them. It was a sacrifice I was willing to do, and I'm the last one still standing. Oh, this reminds me of this song, which it's the song of the day actually.

I was singing this song as I was doing cleaning, cooking, checking on my brothers, and caring for my brothers. Wow, that is a lot of "C's"!! I'm still standing! Yeah, yeah, yeah!!! And also this is a song for all of us pretty much as we are still standing as we kept each other company and were trying our best not to feel down, even if we were (well, except for me, but the way of feeling down is feeling bad and sad for my brothers).

But overall, we are still standing!! Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Journal Prompt #17: How can you cultivate a more COMPASSIONATE & UNDERSTANDING attitude towards yourself during challenging times? 

One way I could do this is to give myself positive pep talks, and telling myself that I tried my best and I could do everything I could do deal with this challenging time. An example I can say is taking care of my brothers all my own and at the same time trying to take care of myself too. One way to say is that I can't give up on my brothers and they need me. 

And taking care of them is important and that I must do the best I can to do this and understand that I am doing this to help them and not be hard on myself.

Doing this journal prompt was a lot of fun and I can't wait to do another one tomorrow! Also, keeping positive and hopes that I will be okay tomorrow! Night-Night!
