that’s a goodie
Day 2:

Daffodils, a pigeon bathing in the pond, the buds on my magnolia tree!
Sunshine, honeysuckle coming back to life, dogs playing in the garden

This can be really hard. It's easy to see the negatives or what you "can't do" but this is great to think of the things your body allows you to do.
Ok, despite being exhausted most of the week, the hospital needed cover for this mornings shift. I wasn’t sure I could manage it but my body rallied!
Go you! Can you plan in some resting and pacing?
We’re out tomorrow evening but I plan on cross stitching tomorrow :)
Good. I'm glad you're making time for stitching.

Such a hard thing to do. But something I need to work on and I'm sure I'm not alone...
It’s a challenge, for sure

Sending love to all of you from here x
Day 6:

This is something I really need to work on. Slowing down to actually take in around me and how things really are...
I was going to rush into cleaning up the kitchen but I'm going to slow down and take the dog for a walk instead. The dishes will still be there in half an hour but I need some fresh air
Good! I'm so glad! How has your day been love?
Day 7:
https://actionforhappiness.org/sites...?itok=XqE5YDZ5
I know I'm not alone in just taking that space to actually properly breathe, so I hope you're all going to try this with me today...
Definitely
How'd it go? Did you manage to get the breaths in?
Maybe not the full amount lol but, yes
Maybe try what I'm trying to do - build it into the next days and actually try to get them as normal practice, rather than a day's challenge...It's certainly difficult!
Day 8:
https://actionforhappiness.org/sites...?itok=PPBY6VkR
I remember trying a mindful eating practise for the first time. It's really strange, but actually, I know that often I "just" eat it, rather than savouring it or thinking about it or how much work it took to create. I stopped and ate my banana mindfully this morning. I'd forgotten how good they really taste!
Day 9:

Something I could do with trying to remember..
A good reminder!!
Day 10:
https://actionforhappiness.org/sites...?itok=xO428l4v
It must be said that it's freezing and wet and I'm hoping to not go out today!
I did that at 6am this morning when I went out to help J clear the snow off the car!
I'm going to do the food shop. Might walk the dog later.
Pfft snow, we've had some flurries, but mostly rain, but really cold and miserable...
Day 11:
https://actionforhappiness.org/sites...?itok=3a8QayMT
Definitely one to practise
A good one for me to practise - as evidenced by my recent coffee related injuries ;)
Day 12:
https://actionforhappiness.org/sites...?itok=UYxDIbeW
This is a really difficult to thing to master... But so important.
I definitely watched the sky..... for rain while I was out walking!
We had some stunning dark clouds earlier when I went to pick Fern up!

Anyone want to share how they made chores happier?
Get someone else to do them (rofl)
That was what I came up with, getting someone else to do them in the style of interpretive dance maybe?
Im planning on cross stitching later
I may read, knit or make another flower after some uni work.
Crochet hook has been going most of the day!!
Hooray for creativity!
