I have a picture of a cartoon cheerleader on my desk. She’s always cheering me on. It feels good to be encouraged and supported. I’ve been wanting to get a cheerleader Barbie for some time now but I haven’t found ones with normal sized heads.
I also have birthday candles and every once in a while I'll buy a piece of cake and blow a candle out, to celebrate everything that I've done.
I have a little collection of car critters that I keep on rotation, all with pun names.
Just one out at a time, I don't like the clutter, but when I feel sad, I'll sort through a few and put 'em on the spot on my dash.
I've given out more than a few to people when they've needed them more than me, like my little pa-car-isu to the girl who was stressed out about getting her blood drawn, or my cArcanine to a boy who was having trouble waiting quietly with his mom and baby brother.
