There's an area of psychology called positive psychology. Rather than focus on mental health issues, this area of psychology focuses on the strengths of people. I like this because I think it gives us something to celebrate.
I thought I'd share this test, which can reveal what your character strengths are.
My top 3 were:
1.) Gratitude
2.) Humour
3.) Curiousity
What about you?

Hmmm, I hadn't thought about myself in terms of those traits, but upon reflection I can see how I exhibit those behaviours and traits on a daily basis. Maybe that's why I really dig your gratitude thread!
Can't wait to see what the other member get!

Good thing about holes is you can either keep digging and get to China (its a pretty nice place!) or you can dig yourself out again 🙂
