Hi,
Okay, 23 days in and I am already confessing!  I have fallen down in the writing department.  On the first 100 Day Challenge one of the participants wrote an e-book.  It was great and I was so impressed and I thought – “what a great way to get yourself writing!”  So I decided to try it myself this time (although I’m not writing a book).  But alas, I have not found the same rhythm that she had.  To date, I have 9 tips written.  I have decided to be very grateful for the 9 I have written rather than be upset about the ones I haven’t written.  I could get upset with myself and get on my case about it or I can give myself a break and start again right in this moment.  That’s the beauty of this kind of challenge.  You challenge yourself to do it everyday, you challenge yourself to start again, you challenge yourself to keep going…I think the best part about this 100 Day Challenge is that you are the one in control.  And, it is a minute by minute thing – in every minute, you can decide to do something differently.  Instead of giving up, you can simply start again.  Now, I think I might go a write something else!

Hi!
I am on holidays – skiing in the mountains and visiting my brother, sister-in-law and nephew.  Today is my nephew’s birthday and he is one year old today!  He is amazing and I am having an awesome time playing with him and watching him learn and change minute by minute!  He is also incredibly busy playing and crawling around at the speed of light.  He has started to walk as well and in another week or so, I am convinced that he is going to be running everywhere he goes!  Because he is so busy, he’s not a real cuddle kind of kid but he does give a kind of half hug which I am fully counting in my quest for 500 hugs – in fact I think those hugs should count for double but I’ll keep it to one for now!  Hope your challenge is going well!

I am heading for a holiday and as usual, I am trying to fit in too many things before I go.  Do you do that – think that everything has to be done before you go including the dusting?!  Well fortunately, I am still remembering my challenge and to date I have collected 55 hugs but I have not been doing so well with the joy tips!  I only have a couple of those written so that is proving to be more of a challenge than I originally thought.  Well, maybe I will be more inspired when I am holidays!

Hello!

Well I’m starting another challenge- this time it’s hugs and joy! I am challenging myself to 500 hugs in 100 days and to write a joy tip everyday.  This would probably be a fairly boring blog if I just told you how many hugs I received everyday so I am going to do the usual blogging thing and weave in the 100 day updates as I go along.  Feel free to comment and if you are challenging along with me, keep me up to date on your progress too!  Happy Challenging!
