Thoroughly Milly

Thanks Karen.

I’m not sure what topic I’ll research right now.  I have so many!  I’ll narrow it down by the end of the day.

Remember, I’m always taking suggestions for my jar of happiness. 

Throw all your ideas at me!

Thanks, lostweightgainedlove!

Well, crap.  What was past me thinking!

5ks are hard to find around these here parts in Oklahoma.

Wish me luck in finding one!

(I think I’ll put this one back in my jar to draw again.  I can never run too many 5ks, right?)

Challenge accepted.

I drew a little late today.  But, I did praise people at work today—at least I think I did.

I’ll do a few more just to be sure.

I should have put “Box up the Christmas decorations” in my jar, because I don’t think it’s going to get done any time soon.  I’m so ashamed.

(Isn’t my space heater sexy?)

I’ve never seen this!  What kind of human am I?!  Now I just have to find it somewhere because I don’t think it’s on Netflix.

Sidenote: I bet you anything that all of my exercise challenges in my Jar of Happiness will come all at once.  Maybe I should shuffle them up a bit…

Jar of Happiness: Day 2

I skipped a couple of days.  But, I did do things that made me happy!  I spent pretty much all weekend on the sofa watching movies.

I’m not ashamed.  I needed it.

Now I need to read The Masque of the Red Death by the end of the day.  I know what you’re thinking.  You’re thinking, “Poe is in the Jar of Happiness?”

Yes.  Yes, he is.

Challenge number one from my Jar of Happiness.

I can’t lie. I was scared to death I’d draw something that required tons of energy. But, thanks to Mollie, this is all I have to manage on my Friday night.

Believe me, after today even this is a challenge.*

Happy Friday!

*I sound negative, but things are getting better very fast!

Behold, the Jar of Happiness.

With this jar, I will bring back the small things in my life.  How will I do this?  Let me tell you step by step:

1. Draw a piece of paper
2. Do whatever is on the paper by the end of the day

I wrote one mini challenge on each of these pieces of paper.  Nothing too elaborate, just things that will help me relax and lighten up like:

• Go for a jog
• Play your flute
• Read a chapter of a book
• Send your sister in law flowers
• Compliment a stranger
• Bake a new kind of cake
• Ride your bike
• Meditate (thanks Mollie!)

I’ve let work take over my life and I’ve got to put a stop to it.  Here’s to relaxing and trying new things!

Also, I only have 211 pieces of paper in my jar.  I need 142 more!  Feel free to give me some suggestions!
