Three positives of today

Another frequented thread on the old forums. 🙂 
The idea is to look for three positive things about your day whether it's been good or bad.

 

I'll start it off.

1. I ate some Maltesers and they were very yummy!
2. I got some of my French assignment done. 😄
3. The new ReachOut forums. Am I the only one who was buzzing with excitement when they came on here? 😄

1. Registered for my family to be a part of a postcode project during lockdown, we get sent postcards who then get sent to vulnerable people once we have written on them/drawn on them/scribbled on them/dribbled on them/probably spilt food on them but nah seriously I thought it looked cool 

2. Not at work again but home doing stuff on the computer, can’t do what I need to do at work outside in this whether, but it’s pretty cold and miserable and our area has had low gas supply since 8am yesterday so no hot showers and no hot water, at least we can rug up while we are inside. Nothibg worse than coming home from work after being outside all day to no heating, so a day inside it is. 
3. Despite being sick for quite a while now, today I am feeling the best I have in weeks I’m not sure why though

@Saltwaterdreamtime wow that postcode/postcard project sounds really amazing! Let us know how it goes, that's so awesome you're all doing that together. Also great to hear you're feeling better today, being sick sucks I hope you are well and truly on the mend.

 

1. Working from home today means I got to do some laundry on my lunch break! Feeling productive.

2. Managing to stay warm on this V. chilly day

3. Looking forward to having a cozy night at home

@Hannah-RO Are you all working from home still? 
waiting on blood test results, I’ve started to feel sick again

The post card thing is run by our local shire which is cool

Yeah living that working from home life - my cat loves it! Cat Tongue

Aw that's no good you started feeling sick again, I hope your results are all good and that you're a bit better today. 

What a cool thing for a shire to run, I love that idea. It sounds like a really nice way to connect people.

Hey @Saltwaterdreamtime , good on you for doing one of these when you're having a tough time - I know how hard that  can be but it really can help. 

 

You've inspired me to do mine: 

 

1. The beautiful early morning light when I left the house early this morning

2. Seeing a rainbow over Sydney harbour 

3. Being back in the office one day a week and getting to see people face to face again

1. Got the fire going outside last night. So nice to have takeaway and just chill out. Taught small human how to toast marshmallows.... didn’t quite succeed in the toasting, just the burning and catching on fire part, and then his marshmallow fell off the stick and all hell broke lose. But that’s ok. Try again another day. 
2. Working again for a little bit today which is awesome the sun is shining 

3. One of my mentors text me a funny picture this morning which was so out of the blue but it made me laugh

Hey @Saltwaterdreamtime 

 

Take away and marshmallows sound yummy. What take away did you get? Also "taught small human" made me laugh. Naw, cute!

 

It's really nice to hear that some positive things are happening in your life at the moment. It's sunny where I am too, which always lifts the mood. I hope you have a good day and enjoy work!

Lots of places are doing delivery when they didn’t before which has been one positive of COVID19 @Maddy-RO We ordered from our favourite place, I got a burger and my partner got a gnocchi dish, so good and we’re so keen to be able to dine in soon.

Yeah, he thought it was so fun, but he’s such a wild child so having the fire was both fun and terrifying... Asking to put random shit in the fire
“Put this in the fire?” *holds up plastic golf club*
“no”
“This one” *scooter*
“No”

Thanks, knocked off early

So glad to hear that things are looking up for you work-wise @Saltwaterdreamtime ! It must have been great to be able to go and see your mentors. I was able to spend some time with my extended family over the weekend for the first time in months, and it definitely lifted my spirits.
