I painted my nails two weeks ago in honor of Susan Niebur and her almost-5-year battle with inflammatory breast cancer.
I’ve never had a period of time where I stopped picking my nails.
I don’t bite. I pick. I did realize a long time ago that biting them was pretty gross. But I pick. And pick. And pick.
Ugh.
I know it’s anxiety. And maybe even a little OCD.
But I painted my nails and wanted them to be perfect. For Susan, who would never see them.
I haven’t picked at my fingers in TWO WEEKS, y’all!
I changed the purple sparkle polish twice and now it has clear/silver glitter polish. They’re so pretty I can hardly stand it.
I want to pick. But I’m not.
My Dose of Happy this week is that I’m able to tap my fingernails on my computer and THEY MAKE NOISE!!

What’s your Happy?
Don’t think you have one? Look harder. Something will make you smile today.
We want to know! Just find a bit of happy in this Monday!
Thank you for the smile! And you may not have noticed, but you’ve just stopped picking at your nails. You’ve seen that you can stop, even if you want to pick at them, and you’ve seen the reward.
Oh that’s wonderful! From one nail picker to another, it’s so fun when they get long enough to tap!!! What color next?
Holy SHIT that’s awesome! I’m so happy for you!
Dose of happy: Being with someone I trust completely with my heart. Enjoying the daily daydreams of us, our future.
My happy comes from having had my youngest daughter home from college for spring break this week. Her school is less than an hour away, and we see her a fair amount, but I miss her when she is gone.
Side note:. I remember Susan Niebur, too, and I am happy to see others remember her well.
