Happiness Challenge Round 2 May 7th

[Whitneys story]

I am in.

I saw this video and thought of you Ms Spock. The most amazing and beautiful Birds. Thank you for opening my eyes to the bird world. I see crows, starlings, quail.

Hugs and Thanks, Whitney

Oh goody we are getting closer to the May 7 date.

Most unusual day in the waiting, I overslept. I have not done this 5 times in the last 10 years. I thought of everyone when I awoke but no time to post. Made it to my meeting with 3 minutes to spare.

Wow it felt so good! Hugs, Whitney

Review your boundaries. :hug: Whitney

Thanks for your caring my dear ((((Whitney)))). While I was still practicing hypnosis, I had documents made in advance, so for me this was routine stuff and I gave her referrals so that she can help herself. I so know that I have to care for myself now. But I soooo do appreciate the caring that comes from others. Those are always magic moments for me.

I'm reading the book THE HAPPINESS PROJECT by Gretchen Rubin and it is inspiring me to do things that I've avoided for ages.

I will do a list and post here of who is joining! Please let me know if I have missed anyone.

I will combine the post from both threads and post on both. We are growing! Yay...

1. Three new things you are grateful for today :My neighbors, the forest by my place, the cascades
2. Journal about a positive experience in the last 24 hours : smelling fresh air from the forest
3. Exercise : going up and down the stairs and small walk in the forest
4. Meditation : yes
5. A random act of kindness : respected myself !

 

[Froggie]

Boy am I ever mixed up !!!! I've been writing May instead of April :facepalm::eek::meh:

 

[Changing4Best]

No problem, Froggie, I do that all the time. I did it on a check I wrote, they cashed it anyway and the bank probably didn't even notice! Thank goodness I had not intended it as a post dated check!

...things you are grateful for today: ...the forest by my place...positive experience in the last 24 hours : smelling fresh air from the forest... small walk in the forest...

I live in the middle of a National Forest called The Nantahala in western North Carolina, USA. I love it too, and it covers the mountains here like a green carpet. I've always been fond of trees, done many a poem and/or work of art of one or many. And the freshness of the air cannot be beat! Almost every direction I look, there is a mountain covered with lush green trees. Some are pines, but there are many others too, for in the fall, the colors on the mountains are AWESOME.

Monster she's not... :)

Lovit![DOUBLEPOST=1367238428][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, I'm doing somewhat better today. My hope factor is up.

May instead of April

April, May, what's the difference? I get years wrong usually. And once I'm not teaching, it is a good thing I have a phone otherwise I might not know what day it is. Seriously. I thought it was an ADD thing. Poorly oriented in Time. That's me.

Does not shouting at my H count as a random act of kindness?:)

I got back on the exercise wagon yesterday - gotta go do it again - crazy day today. Strange times where I am living...more when I get the chance.

SO SO glad we are all here!
