Where Americans Have Been Moving Into Disaster-Prone Areas

I think Blue dot is migration to the area and red shading is high risk.

Are there any trustworthy Bible Reader apps out there for Android?
I use YouVersion. It has lots of different translations and has plans you can set up so you get daily reading in if you want.

What movie scared you shitless when you were a child?
Little shop of horrors (the musical). I was maybe 5 when I saw it. I was terrified of plants for a while afterwards, which was a problem because I lived on a farm.

Giving journaling another try
What I have found to work with me is having a structured thing I write down everyday. For me it is 3 things I'm grateful for. I may write more but I always include at least that. I also found it helpful that I have someone to share it with every day and she shares hers with me. (Just the gratitude piece not the whole journal entry usually). Then we start up a conversation on those things. I now look forward to it and have been doing that for about two years now. Fun pens also help. Especially a fountain pen which you want to use everyday so the stupid thing does not dry out and get clogged.

I wouldn't say this is quite true. I live in a rural area and I need to connect to the Internet using my phone's hotspot for work. I have a surprisingly large number of homes I go into that I can't get enough of a cell signal with Verizon to make this work. It causes me no end of headaches.

Somedays are harder than others. The other day I was grateful to have gotten pushed out of the ditch, grateful I got pushed out of a client's driveway and grateful I technically did not hit the deer. It was a difficult day to be grateful for as it was so stressful. I also enjoy a good scented ink or a nice nontraditional ink color.

Do you use any world building tools?
Another vote for obsidian notes. I like that it is cross platform (I usually use it on my phone) and the files are saved in a format that can still be opened if something happens to the obsidian notes software.

Have you drank enough water today?

You can get Hyponatremia from drinking too much water too fast. I don't know about drowning.

I second the EMDR. Either that or TF-CBT. They are the flagship therapies for trauma and have real evidence they work.

How did you get watercolor to make the texture of the blue red yellow and white sections? I get how to do that with acrylic but not watercolor.

Advice for Anxious/Scared Dog
What about trying a pressure vest? Like a thunder jacket, dog anxiety vest, thunder shirt, that kind of thing. The pressure is supposed to calm dogs nerves. You could also talk to the vet who could prescribe medication for her.

Thanks. I didn't realize one could use them out of the tube for that effect. I've only ever used either the pan watercolors or watered down the tube water colors. This opens up a whole new world on what can be done.
