I'm starting this discussion as a place where we can set our goals daily, help motivate each other to do them and then check in with how we went. It's a place to celebrate when we achieve them or just sit with each other if we didnt and are feeling down about it. Hopefully with encouragement and support from each other we'll tick lots of boxes for our daily goals and feel good about it. Please join in. 😊

I have been feeling pretty good lately. Mum and dearly love aunt visited me.....aint that nice, mum is 85 and Aunt is 90. The aunt is slowing down, finding flying from London is wearing (!!!), mum suggested it was easier to visit me rather than the other way around. Bought that wretched cyclone Debbie in their wake, but I had TimTams for mum, and whiskey for my godmother so all was well. Arent I lucky!
I FINALLY finished a knitted rug which I shall post a picture shortly. Very happy with the result. Survived a group I belong to, coming to my place for the morning. I like the women very much but have discovered POLITICS now I am secretary.....oh lord...I just want to embroider. However, there is always some nasty little toerag who likes stirring the pot. I took the position ONLY to help someone and have no intention of continuing in the role if nasty whispers happen, oh yes, I heard from a third party so maybe they like stirring as well......this is good for my paranoria!

A drop-out-of-everything, nightie day yesterday, mostly slept until the afternoon. But I still managed to get in about seven hours sleep in total last night. Today I want to gently get myself moving again if I can. So, tbd:

Did everything on my list today except washing and the kitchen benches (did the dishes only). Went for my 'small' walk today, which is probably around a kilometre and a half around a nearby school. Not on the list was ending up having dinner with friend in the neighbourhood. A much better day all up than I anticipated when I wrote the tbd list earlier today. Again, there's no doubt that having the list to 'guide' me, helped me get more done than I otherwise might have. Thanks again for starting the thread, @Former-Member.

Hi @eudemonism, great to see you here. I find this discussion thread very helpful. It generally gets me doing more than I would otherwise. Just the tallying up the small parts of my days helps in itself even if I don't do everything I want. When I don't reflect on my activities in small pieces here, I tend to generalise and feel like I am doing 'nothing'. Which makes me feel just bad all the time. So, for me, contributing here is a hopeful place to be. Hope it works well for you too.
My day so far:
Up next:
Wishing everyone a good day.
