Optimism on another 100 days



I thought a good way to continue on my Autumnal optimistic outlook was to have another go at 100 days project. (We've had a bit of a shaky week as the ABO walked in on a burglar early on Sunday when getting up for work. Anyway we're all fine and we're doing our best to put it behind us). I did this last year in the run up to the Tour de France start in Yorkshire which ended on my birthday weekend.

Serendipitously, 100 days from today is Christmas day. Which is a good end point.  So, the plan is to try and find at least one happy thing in my day every day for 100 days. I'm hoping focussing on positive things will give me some perspective and make me appreciate the big and the small. I'll pop in here and update every now and again.

  1. I wish you lots of success with your project. I like that it will take you all the way to Christmas Day. That does seem bright and auspicious. :)

  2. What a great idea, I've heard that things like that make for a happy frame of mind. So sorry about the burglar, I'm glad you're all fine. It's a horrible thing to happen. Love, love, love that rose, it's one of my favourites, I just adore the pink splashes. CJ xx

  3. A burglar? That's awful, how scary for you all. Hope you're ok. I think this is an excellent idea, and I truly believe that looking for happiness each day does generally make for a happier person. x

  4. Ooh, I have read about the 100 day projects. I am a bit late, I wonder if I could do '98 days' ? Good luck with your looking for the positive for 100 days. Like your other commenters, I agree that positive thinking, and appreciating the small things really does improve well being and emotional health X

  6. This is a great project! I'm thinking of joining in too. If I start tomorrow the 100th day will be New Year's Eve! Wishing you luck on your 100 days- I'm looking forward to your updates here. You asked about the material with daisies in one of my photos -- it's craft paper. I wish it's fabric, it would make a pretty cushion cover.x

  7. More happy 100 day wishes from me.

    I once woke up to the sound of a burgular rummaging around in our dressing table drawers. Quite spontaneously I shouted 'Get out of my house'. Only one snag, it wasn't a thief after my jewellery, it was a sleepless 8 year old who knew I kept cough sweets in the same drawer. Oops!
