Oh I agree! I think I can tend toward alone time so I need a constant reminder to get out and see people! It's always a goal of mine to do a weekly "artists date" and even though spending quality time with myself makes everything better, I don't always do it...
my goal for the new year is to make tech sabbath (no phone/computer from Friday evening to Saturday evening) a habit! I’ve done it sporadically over the past couple of years, but I want to do it every week. Good for my brain! Happy new year!
Omg the desperate yearn to rest vs the WHY AM I BEING FORCED TO REST?!? I know it so well 😂 And I’m taking this post as a sign to add THE NORTH WOODS to my 2024 tbr pile...
I can't wait to hear what you think of North Woods. It's lovely - and different!
Now that I'm feeling better I'm telling myself that the next time I get sick I'll embrace it and won't fight the need to rest - but we'll see how that goes 😉
Hello there new Friend. 😃 I’m so glad you’re all nearly through your dreadful COVID bout. Sending best wishes for a good recovery for you all.
My happiness list is surprisingly similar to yours. I include brain training and art as well, but the rest? At least 30 minutes of exercise, interactions with my local community, neighbours and/or family, good fresh food, satisfying work, minimal news, sensible chores and some good fun each day, plus a little journaling and regular volunteering and I think we’ve about covered it all. A little bit of what you fancy, everything in moderation, old wives tales perhaps but it works.
All the best for the year ahead my dear. Sending heaps of hugs and best wishes. 🤗🤗😘
I love this list Amelia. I'd add solitude and some quality time with myself to my version! 💕

The Happiness Checklist, what a great idea!
I hope it's helpful!

Thank you!
Keep Scribbling
Will do! ❤️

Happy New Year, Amelia! Glad you are all on the mend! Thanks for this list! 🎆✨
happy new year to you!

you can do it! I've actually been putting my phone on its charger at 6:30 or 7 pm the past few nights and forgetting about it - that's been nice, too!
I love this happy list!! Going to adopt some of this for myself for this new year.
I am so glad to hear that! All the best for a wonderful new year!

Sensible chores! I'm adding this to my list - a clean and tidy kitchen really improves my mood! Thank you for the kind words, and happy new year! 🎉
