Today with the cooler weather I've been out in my garden. Repotting some new strawberry plants, some thyme and deciding where the nepata and salvia plants are going to go. Dave my cat has had his head in the nepata aka catmint a lot so they are going down well.
My garden is a space I feel so lucky to have. I often forget how much better I feel when I am able to get outside especially after I've been up cooped up inside for days at a time because of weather or pain.
It's such a cliche when us therapists say try to get outside if you can even if it's just sitting at your front door for a bit. We say it because it really can help.
Now to practice what I preach a bit more and remember to come out here when those emotions hit.

Yesterday at Bristol Disability Pride Day organised by , I had my first chair tumble after getting a little bold and trying to hold a wheelie. Learning wheelchair skills is definitely a journey, and I'm embracing every moment. I do keep giggling today at the image of my feet up in the air. Laughter is such a tool for healing. It has taken me some time to embrace my imperfections rather than be embarrassed by them, especially when they are witnessed by others. If you have any tips for a beginner, I'd love to hear them.

Had a great time parade, marching with . We won't hide, we show up where and when we can. Not enough spoons to go on to the downs, so hung out with community for a little after the parade. That felt great. Community is so important. Moments of joy and feelings of connection are resilience factors that according to the Minority Stress Theory help with better mental health outcomes. And right now considering the government are actively both anti trans and anti disabled we need all of the resilience factors we can get.
