Something that makes me greatly appreciate life is looking forward to special days. It doesn't need to be something big but it needs to be something enjoyable. Last weekend I took some hours just for myself and did a craft project, it was fun and I was fully absorbed in the project. This made it a very special day for me.

How does a special day look to you? What makes it so special?

Hi, Peace,

How does a special day look to you? What makes it so special?

My idea of a special day is one in which nothing bad happens and/or I don't get bad news. I'm good with that.

Having just a peaceful day sounds good. Sorry if your days are challenging. I hope that you can find peace with mindfulness during the day and hopefully can have some relaxing me-time before falling asleep.

Nothing is better than waking up after a good night sleep and feeling refreshed, I hope there will be more mornings like this for you in future.

I am looking forward to travel again or camping. I want to make a camping video and it really gives me motivation to go on. Plus in October if it’s possible I would like to travel for few days. And November is my grandma’s 80th Birthday. I just love travelling. But I am also looking forward to spend more time with my dog

and bring him for walks.

A special day for me is when my spirits are uplifted through a soul satisfying activity or in the company of positive and inspirational people.

@RideaRainbow

Having positive and inspirational people in life helps to stay motivated. We all need those soul satisfying activities too, whether it is just me-time in silence, doing a hobby, reading, painting to name just a few. What is your favorite activity?

It's a very special day when you can get a holiday, be it at school or from work. Its worth it that we had labour day recently. I hope that everyone had a great labour day. Feel free to share your experiences

How does a special day look to you? What makes it so special?

A special day would be spent having fun with some people, plaing games, having a picnic or cookout, relaxing, telling jokes and stories.

A special day for me is a spontaneous event. If I happen to stop and smell a blooming rose, or drive across cities to cup both hands around a warm lavender chai latte from my favorite coffee house, or skip doing an errand or chore to find both my feet covered in sand waiting for a wave to find them again I have made something special and memorable happen for myself that day. I am a simple person that loves an opportunity to find myself embracing all my senses and finding peace within when I lend myself time to do something for me.

Spontaneous self care days can be the best, just allowing yourself to take some me-time when you feel you need it.
