Brainstorming with my wife always brings great ideas. For my 100th post here, I invite you to a challenge :
Name 100 ''things'' that are great when you are feeling down, or having a bad day.
You can replace 'great' by good, or positive or whatever such word : the goal is finding 100 different (even slightly from one another) or that brings you some joy and relief- including on difficult days, or just on normal ones (see, I'm not too demanding!)
Also, this doesn't have to be in any particular order - a decreasing or increasing would be too daunting and counterproductive.
I'll use hashtag #100posichallenge in the same vain as the 7dayposichallenge that Cortnee had made, but this is something to type and prepare at your convenience. I took some time before I got to the 100 and so, without further ado, here are... 100 things that make me happy, feel better, positive, recharged:
