Here's a list of 5 joys I get from Substack ...inspired by @JFT Beach's list of 25 Key Lessons on Health, Wellness, Writing...and this one specifically "Substack notes and article commenting make social media fun again."

1. The "Sweary Spice Girls" and their skill of a well-placed F-Bomb matched with strikethroughs makes me giggle every single day.

2. Eating disorder is no joke (been there myself somewhat) and I believe the true healing agent is healthy COMMUNITY and support. When we feel nourished in relationships, we are more likely to nourish ourselves with food.

3. After reading about it from JFT Beach enough, I'm convincing myself that I might just be able to enjoy a cold shower from time to time (after a sauna).

4. Substack is a place where a good Shakespearean insult can spark a beautiful internet friendship.

5. I love you JFT Beach, and I love telling people I love them...because I just DO!

Suffering, and adversity, do certainly help us grow and develop. Sometimes, however, it can feel like long-suffering will never come to an end. Thank you for the lessons and reminders. It is important to focus on the good things even when we feel lost in a sea of bad.

So true and like that phrase "lost in a sea of bad" it resonates

Giving thanks to the STRIKETHROUGH QUEEN, Megan Lee, for leading me here, JFT πŸ’₯

I'm glad you decided to keep the list to 25 at a time. Phew. I resisted following links until I'd finished the article.

I am bookmarking this, and it's at the top of my must read list.

Thanks, JFT

That’s great!

I slept without my mouth tape for first time in almost 11 months on Sunday. I felt so awful the next day. Like I’d been hit by a bus.
