Challenge of the day!

Challenge of the day!

I'm starting a thread for a challenge of the day during these uncertain times. It's just a way for us to connect with each other and take our thoughts away from what is happening around us. It's kind of a (dare I say) mindfulness and grounding activity for each day. I hope it's a bit of fun for some of them and a way to ground and be aware of what is still around us.

The idea is for members to post whatever they feel comfortable with. It could be photos, photos of drawings, written descriptions or creative writing and poetry. It could be music as well. The key part is to keep in mind your anonymity at all times. Please don't post anything that would identify you. For that reason I'm trying to think of challenges that are personal but keep us anonymous.

Lastly I know I'll run out of ideas. Please feel free to add your own challenges here as well.

Today's challenge is to post about what you would choose for a new pet if you could choose and home anything? It's a pretty open challenge.

Hey all

@TeejI would choose a wolf

The wolf spirit animal meaning in Native American mythology conveys strength and courage.

Hi @Ant7

If you are talking about the limits on what we can and can't do because of our new social rules - there was a learner driver who was out with her mother having a driving lesson and was pulled over and fined because the officer thought it she wasn't getting exercise and therefore breaking the rules

It's really hard to understand so much except stay inside when we can - but the fine was upheld - perhaps as an example -

I don't know how I feel about it - a 17 year old student getting a large fine seems harsh but yes - some people are not taking the social distancing seriously

Which is tough on everyone - but such a large fine - yes - really hard

Re: Challenge of the day

Sorry challenger's I've been a bit distracted. I keep waiting for my new normal to hit and find a routine but alas it's still like my old normal with no routine 😳:face_with_rolling_eyes:.

Yesterdays challenge for me would be to get another kelpie x rescue dog. I'd love to get another and keep looking at the pet rescue page but alas it's not the right thing for me to do just now. While the virus has bought a bit more financial stability for a couple of reasons I know that my future isn't going to be and including another dog might get tricky. If it was just about love I'd adopt heaps of rescue dogs.

The challenge of green for me bought up memories of places like Russell Falls in Tassie, parts of the great ocean road and the Seychelles where I've been lucky enough to travel.

The colour one was a bit of fun because I have an obsession, verging on the edge of addiction with purple. So many of my favourite things are purple because I hunt them out.

Re: Challenge of the day

Today's challenge is a bit harder for those in the northern areas. It's Autumn here where I am and the trees locally are changing. Can you see autumn trees near where you live? What is your favourite autumn leaf shape, colour, tree? If you don't have them in your area do you have a favourite? Where in the world would you like to visit to see autumn colour?
