100 Happy days – Day 50

On May 19, 2025 By Not a Dr PepperIn Mental Health challengesLeave a comment

This morning, it started off with a massive rain shower, and I was so pleased to be working from home! The day cleared, and Affro and I were able to go for two nice walks, even though it was quite fresh. I think it's fair to say that we don't feel happy every day or …

I lost my reading mojo for a while. I think I spent too much time reading self-help books and trying to figure out how to "fix" myself. I don't think the worsening of insomnia in the last 5 years helped either! Anyhow, I've been reading more lately and finding a lot of enjoyment in fiction …

The weather was absolutely gorgeous today. I captured this pic while Affro and I were out walking this morning. The river by home is starting to look a lot clearer as it was looking pretty brown after all the rain a couple of weeks ago. It warmed up so much later on, that I had …

100 Happy days – Day 47

Yesterday, it was 1 month, 1 week and 1 day until we go on holiday to Canada. The spiritual/angelic pull of 111 was real but the sunrise picture trumped it. In 20 something hours, that 1 week will become days and it becomes closer to 4 weeks. Holy moley! We were saving to go to …

I was looking through the photos I took today to get some inspiration for todays post. I took this photo on my bike ride to work. When I was taking Affro for a walk before I left, I spotted the beautiful sky and decided to put my phone in my pocket for easy access. I'm …

100 Happy days – Day 45

I saw this post today on the Power of Positivity page, and it sums up the concept of 100 happy days and gratitude in general. The more you focus on the things you're grateful for and the things you desire, the more positive things you'll attract. The whole like attracts like concept springs to mind, …

100 Happy days – Day 44

Today was one of those days where I didn't feel that flash. The main catalyst was a few days in a row of minimal sleep. My sharpest tool is my brain and I find it extremely frustrating when I can't think straight and I can't articulate myself with ease. I notice that it also affects …

It's hard to believe this slice of paradise is on our walk around the block. I was pretty tired today but Affro and I managed to walk over 9,000 steps during my work breaks and on the way to meet Mike after work. Where possible, I try to take him off lead to continue his …

Mother's Day was pretty special today. Mike and Affro got me my very first card and some lovely fingerless gloves. We went for a walk along Kaiapoi River and Woodend Beach and it was really lovely with the sun shining and the wind at bay. Mother's day has often been a source of heartbreak but …

Today was a lovely day! The weather was great, and I got a few things done around the house. Herbie  vacuumed while Affro and I walked to the super to meet Mike. Our carpet is charcoal and even harder to keep clean since we've had a dog so it's cool to see the carpet looking …
