Wonderful! Amazing to remember how much Twitter was integrated into so much. It was completely random that the 100 #daysofhappiness ended at the end of 2023 (nearly). Or at least I presume so, @annamgrey.bsky.social?

You know the daily posts that I do every evening? (…or maybe you don’t - I post quite late in the day, and only repost occasionally!). I have written a new blog post about this practice, with links to my monthly hashtags, from #daysofhappiness to #MayMotivations, & to be updated in subsequent months
Reflective daily posts on BlueSky

Have just downloaded the update. It’s so exciting to see all the hashtags I’ve been using over the months appear as hyperlinks #daysofhappiness #JanuaryJoys #FebruaryThoughts #LISconference #ORL #LibrariesRewired23 (and more on an occasional basis).

I have a new apron on. It does up in a funny way at the back, meaning it will fit anyone perfectly. (I love a good apron). #JanuaryJoys #Day1
Realising with my not posting yesterday that I do need a thing like my #daysofhappiness (now complete after #day100) to force me to reflect each day!

Today my son and I watched a lot of Good Omens series 1 (rewatch for me, 1st time for him. I haven’t seen series 2 yet). I made good progress on my jigsaw puzzle. #100daysofhappiness #day100 #daysofhappiness (casual post today, reflection on the reflective activity tomorrow!)

I’ve made 2 big batches of soup today-Broccoli & Carrot & walnut. The broccoli will do to have in the freezer for my husband. The carrot & walnut, my daughter isn’t as keen on as my mum’s version so I’ll probably have to eat it myself. But the cooking is #100daysofhappiness #daysofhappiness #day99

We got home today after 3-4 days of Christmas (which I loved!). It is nice to be away, but it’s also nice to be home. Unpacking & pottering. I’ve even hardly eaten, having stuffed myself silly for days. And been sensible with a cordial after all the wine #100daysofhappiness #day97 #daysofhappiness

My #100daysofhappiness yesterday was about listening to my family in random Christmas conversations. Today, #day96, is similar but is my mum’s happiness at hearing & seeing people talking, & my joy in the two of us talking over the day this evening (her #daysofhappiness suggestion with my addition)

I had a lovely moment this evening listening to my family in the next room-various conversations I couldn’t quite hear. I took an audio recording a minute later, hearing specific conversations (nothing confidential), & am glad to have this in perpetuity #100daysofhappiness #day96 #daysofhappiness

I received some lovely Christmas presents. One was a book that I was expecting, which I have immediately started reading instead of the multiple other books I’m reading (which I am enjoying…). Oops! But great to be really really into a book. #100daysofhappiness #day95 #daysofhappiness

I managed to find some of the last minute Christmas shopping bits that I didn’t get yesterday (not everything, but enough to feel I’ve done enough). And I didn’t need to cook dinner tonight! #100daysofhappiness #day94 #daysofhappiness

I had my last proper Christmas shopping trip today. Didn’t get everything I need (am hopefully of some last minute opportunity tomorrow …please!) but I did have several hours by myself to listen to my audiobook (a Pride and Prejudice alternative). #100daysofhappiness #day93 #daysofhappiness

We went to the panto today, so much fun (including a wonderful recovery from the Dame after a mishap - a memory for life), and had dinner afterwards with our friends. Great night. And my neighbour’s found my flown away towel! #100daysofhappiness #day92 #daysofhappiness

Tonight I observed a lightening chess tournament, with 4 levels. I really can’t play chess (or watch a game & know what’s going on), but I can a read score sheet & watch others watch an exciting game between vg players. & talk with friends & eat yummy food #100daysofhappiness #day91 #daysofhappiness

I tripped over this evening, on my way for a great evening out with a friend. I have a sore leg & big bruise but I’m so relieved I didn’t hurt any joints, & thankfully to the people who stopped on The Strand & helped. Is it silly that I’m making this my #100daysofhappiness #day90 ? #daysofhappiness

My children finished school for the holidays today, & while I’m working tomorrow it’s only 1/2 a day & not until 9:30am. So I don’t have to set my alarm for early & nag people to get up. I can just have an emergency alarm in case I don’t wake up naturally #100daysofhappiness #day89 #daysofhappiness

Today I had a mentor meeting. It is such an amazing experience to talk and ponder and be questioned and prompted by someone who is interested and knowledgeable. Especially over coffee and yummy toast and jam #100daysofhappiness #day88 #IamAurora #daysofhappiness

Today my daughter & I printed wrapping paper. We’ve been doing this for several years (the impetus being to have paper that is recyclable) & it’s one Christmas tradition I’m pleased to have kept up (among many others which I’ve sadly not managed this year) #100daysofhappiness #day88 #daysofhappiness

My #100daysofhappiness #day87 is something that I’ve already posted about-the fact that the P on my laptop keyboard is now working again (it’d stopped completely). It makes such a difference, & now I can put off reporting how old my computer has got, & keep going for a while longer #daysofhappiness

Lots of things I could write about today. But I think my #100daysofhappiness #day85 is that I stopped trying to get things done this afternoon & lay down & read my book in bed. I even dozed off for a bit. It is wonderful to realise I need to rest & give myself permission to do this #daysofhappiness

Ooo, I had two long conversations about systematic reviews today, with the same person (we ran out of time & met again later!). I learn so much from brilliant questions from researchers I work with. Love how valuable it is for my own research & development #100daysofhappiness #Day84 #daysofhappiness

Okay, I can’t resist it… this is my #100daysofhappiness #day83 #daysofhappiness Having a lovely compliment (two of them), especially for something that was really a joy, is a reminder to post my own online thank yous to people more often - it is a great thing to receive.
I'm sure everyone already knows this but @alicecann.bsky.social is a shiny shiny star of a human who deserves all the good things (she sent me lots of very useful info about doing systematic reviews specifically in business subjects and has saved me many hours of strife).
