100 Days of Wonder – #75

User comments

I had a good day today. I got some work stuff done, making the to do list a very tiny bit shorter. I also got to speak to some great college students in Huddersfield and I didn’t even get lost driving there and back. I’ve worn my Grumpy Christmas jumper all day, finished a Lego Christmas scene and decorated our tree.

I was busy but there was lots of joy today. Busy but happy plus Christmas reminded me of this picture at Epcot. When I took it we’d been on the go a while and had just sat down for a little break. Busy but happy. And busy but happy is a kind of Disney theme – or actually just holiday theme for us. While we do have quite a lot of downtime compared to some who ‘do’ Disney, our trips are never lying by the pool kind of holidays. I like busy but happy and I hope that in your inevitable busy you can also find some happy.

100 Days of Wonder – #73

Here’s me in September 2017 on a sun lounger at the Contemporary Resort. It was 31degrees C and I was a very happy Jess. This wasn’t my original plan for today’s photo but it feels like I need to remind myself that rest and escapism and hopefully some warm sun is coming.

We’ve just got back from a lovely few days in Hamburg but I wouldn’t call them restful and our return journey was made more stressful by motorway closures which meant a detour into the unknown and significant delay getting home.

I was looking for a photo that would make me smiles, give you all a break from Christmas stuff and provide a promise of warm and calm. I can almost feel the sun on my skin looking at the photo and finding it and writing this post have made me pause long enough to remember that I don’t have to log onto work email tonight to get ready for the work day tomorrow- that’s tomorrow’s job. Tonight is just about enjoying my evening off, reflecting on the last few days, getting more excited about how close the Disney trip now is and getting to bed early.

Happy Tuesday Evening.
