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.

Re: Challenge of the day!

One of my favourite books of all time has been The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I read it when I was fairly young and I have read it many times since and even as an adult I have found the book has so much wisdom in it I learn more every time I read it

It's a classic for children and people of all ages

I think one of the copies I have owned actually had this cover

Re: Challenge of the day!

Great daily challenge @Teej but I can't remember my fav book as a child. However I loved reading Roald Dahl books. I still have them. I also liked the touchoose books. Can't remember what they were called but you could choose what you wanted to happen in the book and you would have 2 options to choose and you would turn to the specific page and the book would either finish really quick or could go on for a while.

Re: Challenge of the day!

Roald Dahl had a brain and a talent and an exciting life apparently re WWII lol
I liked /was bemused by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory age around 8 ish
I already had a belief problem 😬

@Mazarita

Same problem too with that weed. I researched it and decided when it fills a gap nicely it can stay, otherwise if it overtakes other plants and is "badly behaved" I have no problem pulling it out. I used to get upset as I did not know what was what, in the garden. Internet helps sometimes!

@OwlunarI took children to Secret Garden as a play at Ripponlea ... decades ago ...

Agree re RD @TAB only read Roald Dahl and Peter Rabbit as a mum to my kids. I grew up pretty kwik. @Maggie @Lee82 I am reading one of my sons YA books from Year 7 atm ...called "Wolf" have not read much beyond online for last few months.

@Teej Great challenges. I find I am drawn to the night sky a lot lately ... going for a mini walk with my cat looking at the stars ... lol

Re: Challenge of the day!

This 'weed' is purslane - we were pulling it out of the lawn but then found out you can eat it so now we relocate it to the vegie garden ...

This is what I call a hallelujah sky ...

and my favourite childhood books were Milly Molly Mandy and The Magic Faraway Tree....

and

Thanks for the prompts @Teej Hi @Appleblossom @TAB @Lee82 @Owlunar @Mazarita
