Breakfast: Poached egg with ham and cheese on gluten-free 7 grain bread, 3 brazil nuts, 3 strawberries, 6 oz. milk, coffee.

Gratitude: my crepe myrtle bush is starting to bloom.

I notice as soon as I start journalling, I am inspired to eat better and add more protein to my meals and snacks. I guess I don't want to write about eating cold pizza and cookies for lunch - so I look in the fridge for something more sustaining like tomatoes with mozzarella and tuna on whole grain bread.

And once I eat better, I feel able to do other things I know help my depression like meditating and going for a morning walk.
