A Matter of Choice

As part of my 101 list I decided I would make a list of 101 things that make me happy. I started making the list back in July last year and although most of it came to mind pretty easily I soon got stuck, I was determined that it wouldn't beat me though so I saved it and have been coming back to every now and again.   Of course, now I've finished it I'm sure a load more things will pop into my head that should have gone on the list! I'm also cheating a little and linking this up to 'Reasons to be Cheerful' this week over at  Bod For Tea  as although I've not been the most cheerful person this list reminds me of many reasons to be! Being Mum to Leo Being married to Aaron Sunshine Good friends Losing excess pounds The view from my balcony Photos Good music My parents Dancing Making lists Floating on a lilo Leo laughing Not being in debt Tidy apartment Drinking with friends Weddings Sleeping in late Reading  good books BBQs Talking ...

As someone who often says "You can never be too organised"  I'm sure it will come as no surprise to hear that I am a big fan of lists.  Shopping lists (obviously), to-do lists (have actually been known to write something on my list I've already done, yes I realise I need to get out more) and of course my favourite list so far.... my 101 in 1001 list So as you can imagine I was dancing with joy  quite impressed when I saw that Kate at Kate Takes 5  has started a new linky thing. She has started off by asking what everyone thinks are the top 5 things about having kids. Some are very similar to others lists but I suppose that's because they are the best things! So, in no particular order my top five good things about having kids are....... 1.  Christmas becomes Christmas again! I've always loved Christmas but it is undoubtedly  better with kids. Not just the day but the whole run up especially as they grow up and appreciate a visit to Santa (...

I first came across this idea over at Toddler Awesome since then I've seen it around several times and after finding the  Day Zero Project  I thought I'd do my own. The Challenge Complete 1001 pre set tasks in a period of 1001 days. The Criteria Tasks must be specific (i.e no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on your part). I'm in the process of creating my list, you can see it  here.   Any other ideas for me?
