ElizaMarie I did a challenge like this one for my #20for20 last year and when I got to Ethiopia I fell in LOVE with the food! We went to this lovely restaurant where the owner talked to us all about his home country and some of the customs! It was awesome! 3y

Hardwiring Happiness: The New Brain Science of Contentment, Calm, and Confidence | Rick Hanson

This was a good exercise for me today, as I am feeling a bit crappy. Things that are making me happy are: spending more time with the dog, my partner, cooking, and slowly working on the garden. And having an amazing dance teacher who although the studio is closed is continuing to provide (very different) lessons in the interim, and spent the first few weeks of lockdown celebrating a different student every day 🥰

ElizaMarie I love this! Also the Glow-worm is super cute!
I do feel much happier when I take time out to actually remember what has made me happy. Thats why I had used that as a goal for my #20for20 ... It helps a lot! Also loved seeing these pictures!! 4y

I really enjoyed this book. So it was one that I was curious about but used the Greek theme I had last month for my #20for20 #NewYouNewYear prompt to bump this higher in my list. And I am so so glad I did. It sucked me in!

This was such a good book! I am glad that I was studying #Greek this month for my #20for20 #NewYearNewYou . I wouldn't have even heard of it or have read it unless it was part of this challenge for me. This book made me mad at times because women had no rights to their bodies. You married then you were property and if you make your husband upset he can totally ruin your life just because. Okay so it still happens today at times, but its just sad!

I picked this one up as part of my Greek month for my #20for20 #NewYearNewYou goals. I read a couple of reviews on this one and it sounds like something I will enjoy. Also I can use it during my commute (yay!)

I love stories of Greek gods and goddesses. I enjoyed listening to this at work and getting lost in the all too familiar stories I grew up loving! I‘m glad this is my #Greek month on my #20for20 #NewYearNewYou :) it gave me the excuse to delve into it :)

AkashaVampie I love the whole gods thing too! I really need to learn more about them one of these days. 4y
