Hello

Dropped by to give you all my support, good luck with your challenge!

[fleaball]

Oh wow. If you're a teacher, two coffees per day sounds woefully inadequate. Best of luck to you!

I think it reminds you that you have a lot to be happy about. When you start to make it a habit, you can see things that make you happier easier.

get it buddy!

Thanks. I'm doing well so far. [emoji5][emoji106]ðŸ»

#100happydays

Day 1 - My time piano

Day 2 - Finally getting some rain.

Day 3 - My daughter practicing on the piano.

Day 4 - My daughters responses to her Star Wars writing prompt. "Chewie cut off my feet, so I cut off his head." "Mrs Darth Vader". [emoji38]

Hi jakiethwaite, welcome to the Rebellion

 

Limiting to two coffees/day would be a tough one for me, unless they were very large coffees

 

Your level up your life quest is pretty awesome, a daily picture of happiness is a great idea.  Your daughter's Jedi project looks like something my #2 daughter would have done, it made me smile

 

As you can see by my avatar,  I'm one of the Assassin ambassadors.  I see you mentioned thinking about the Druids, and they are an awesome guild, but let me offer you an official invite to come on over and check out the Assassins.  

 

Here is the Den, where all the Assassins hang out and support each other.  The Assassin Phonebook is a cool place that we keep updated with who is working on what.  You can check out their threads or ask questions.

 

Here is the Assassins' Scullery food chat thread.  It is full of good Paleo, Primal and conventional recipes.  This may give you an idea or two for your cooking quest.

 

And probably most importantly, here is the Assassins Initiates chat thread where you can learn more about the Assassins and find answers to any questions you may have.

 

I'll be following along with your challenge, I'm really looking forward to seeing your successes.

Hey jackiethwaite;  How has Week 1 gone for you?

 

I hope all is well and I'm looking forward to more of your #100happydays thoughts.  Photo-documenting daily happiness sounds like such a great idea, hopefully it's not a stressor trying to find some happiness to take a picture of

Just checking in and wondering how you're doing?

 

I see you're raising a cute little nerd there, well done, I can see the "force" is strong in her!

There there Petefeet,

I've been taking my pictures daily and they've been posted to Facebook. :)Not doing fabulously on the watre, but sticking to my coffee parameters. Next time around, I'll do a goal about getting 8 hours sleep. I'm on school holidays and we go back next week, then the students the week after and I've been planning like crazy! Trying out different ideas for my 12's and organising classes for my 8's. I've found a program that is an app that allows me to sign up parents and students and it reminds them what's on. I'm setting it up so the Sunday of the week beginning, the students/parents will get the weeks worth of work. 

1. Parents know what's going on.

2. Students have more accountability.

3. They can't bring their laptops to school, but you KNOW they'll have a phone on them.  

 

My daughter watched Star Wars VI, and was crushed the Vader died. She was in denial. Poor bub!

 

I go back in three days, and want to get the first unit for all my classes done, so that's what I'm doing now. 

 

I've used my slow cooker and chucked in heaos of veggies and cheese, and made about 6 serves, so that will be a side dish. I find the SC is best for side dishes rather than the mains. Otherwise we have to eat the same thing for days...

[jrosto]

That app sounds very helpful.  It would be nice if my granddaughter's school had something like that.  We do after-school for her and an app like that would help us.  It does seem like a lot of extra work for you though.  

 

How's the walking part of your challenge going?  Are you getting in those 5 mins/day?
