100 Happy Days

100 Happy Days


I mentioned in previous post 'Things That Make Rachie Smile' that Happy is my favourite mood to be in and that sometimes when I struggle with the happy part, I make a list of things that make me smile.  

I recently came across a challenge called 100 Happy Days, where you post a picture every day for 100 days, using either your facebook, twitter, instagram etc and use that one picture everyday to mention something that made you happy.  

I thought it would be fun to try and I'm currently on day 4, hopefully I can keep it up for another 96!
If you fancy checking my 'happy' progress, I'll be sticking them on my instagram which is linked at the top of the page!

Something I'm really happy about just now is that it's almost Autumn, I adore Autumn! Spring and Summer and Winter are great, but those are my prime sneezing, sunburn or shivering months!
Autumn is where my seasonal comfort zone is at! 
I guess Autumn can seem like a sad season because its when the trees lose their leaves and start to look a bit dead but it reminds me that the year is drawing to a close and that the atmosphere is simply getting its crap together for the winter in order to move into the new year where it can start things over again.
Walking on crunchy leaves and spotting conkers/chestnuts is my favourite part but only when they are crisp, not when they get soggy and stick to my shoes!

Autumn should be out in full force during my 100 Happy Days Challenge so I'll be sure to stick in some Autumn pictures!

You can read more about the 100 Happy Days challenge on their website.

I'm Grateful For: Autumn Joys

I did it again, I went nearly a whole year without posting anything, because I'm rubbish. If you're new here, I do this. If you're not new, you know this.  I have no real excuse this year - last year was the year of opposites, I had a lot on at work, my mother and father in law died 21 days apart, I got married four months later, there was grief, there was a Canadian honeymoon, there was stuff going on. I'd be lying if I said this year had been smooth sailing, but there's been more of a sense of calm.  I get to autumn and I get all airy fairy and contemplative, it's no longer about making it through the year, it's, as my boss beautifully put it this week, limping towards Christmas.  Years ago, and about three blogs ago - if you can be bothered scrolling far enough through the archive I've uploaded here - I used to write happy lists of all the things that made me happy, because I was a bit like Joy from inside out - happy because happy and even when it...

Quirky Reads: The Joy of No

It might be February already but I said I wanted to read more books this year than I did last year so here is my musings on the first book I've finished reading this year!  Quick Review Genre(s): Self Help/Motivation  Who Wrote It: Summerdale Publishers Did I Dig It?: Heck yeah! 2 Second Summary: Some sound advice on saying no. Quirky Queen Rating: 👑 👑👑👑👑  5 out of 5 Crowns from me on this occasion. Every once in a while I need a reminder that saying no is not only acceptable, but necessary.  I also read it while my neighbour was having carpets fitted and it distracted me from the loud hammering! Extended Musings I think I've mentioned before that I struggle when it comes to saying no.  I'm aware of the word's existence and can use it, I just don't like doing it.  While reading through some of the advice in this book, I found myself nodding along at alot of the section titles because I struggle saying no in those situations.  My biggest problem...

Morning cup of nonsense

I’m forty-ish minutes into my working day, I’m not dressed yet, my curly hair has succumbed to bedhead and needs washed and I’m still wearing my muppets pyjama top. However, my morning cup is filled with caffeine and enough flavour that I can’t taste the coffee, so I decided it was time for a blog! Here we!  I was reading an email the other day - I always read mailing list/marketing & comms emails as I know a Rachie somewhere has worked on that and that the stats will help whether I’m a converted to end goal reader or not. Anyhusan, it was about how to get buy in from colleagues for your work and to be honest, I don’t think that’s as big a struggle as getting buy in from myself.  I am forever telling myself not to try things, not to suggest things, not to experience things. And why? Because it might not work? Because someone might think it is or I am rubbish? So what?  Other people try things and it doesn’t work - generally speaking, no bad thing happens. So what’s st...
