Celebrate The Small Things: 20 December Edition

Welcome to CELEBRATE THE SMALL THINGS. Here we are at 20 December! In Celebrate The Small Things we celebrate the small pleasures and excitements and kindnesses of the week. There's a linky to sign up on.

A few things:

• Next week, will be the end of the year and we will have been celebrating for a whole year. Can you believe it? I am therefore going to suggest that NEXT WEEK we celebrate the WHOLE YEAR. What have been the small things that have stuck out for you in the year? Though by all means celebrate the week, it's just a thought.
• It is lovely if people can hop around and visit others but I wouldn't want the thought of having to visit the WHOLE LIST to put people off signing up. If you sign up and can visit say 10 or 15 on the list who are near you on the list, well, that's fine.
• This week, apologies, I likely WON'T make it around everybody's blogs to celebrate with you due to the holidays. Next week I'll likely be late in my visiting but I will try and make it round the end of year round up then.
• I'll do a list tidy up at some point over the holidays.

My celebrations this week then:

1. It is nearly Christmas. At the moment I am mainly thinking that this means TIME OFF and a break but I am sure I'll soon be excited about the holiday itself.
2. Fully recovered from food poisoning, yay!
3. Time off work! I don't know about America but most people here take days off over Christmas and travel and see family and it's a proper wee break. I have 10 days off or something like that, and I am looking forward to it.
4. CHOCOLATE. There's lots of it about this time of year.

How about you? Happy Holidays to you!

The rules are simple: Sign up on the linky, Celebrate in your blog, hop around and celebrate with others. The celebrations can be as small or as big as you like.

I love to hear what everybody is cheerful about this week. I do hope everybody else does too!

Well this week I am celebrating:

Christmas meet ups and dinners with various friends.

I am NOT celebrating that I somehow got food poisoning and am feeling rather rough, but what can you do. Here's to a speedy recovery and then more Christmas Food Fun.

Celebrate The Small Things - 6 Dec

I am very disappointed that I missed "Insecure Writers Support Group" this week. My work has been so crazy busy - roll on Christmas break!

I am squeezing in a Small Celebration however as we Celebrate The Small Things ;) The rules are simple: Celebrate, sign up on the linky, Celebrate with others! :)

This week I am celebrating:

• The start of Christmas meet ups with friends
• Critique partners who swing into action when you need help/advice
• That it isn't many weeks until I get some days off over christmas

Also, we are nearing ONE YEAR of CELEBRATE THE SMALL THINGS. I will be extending the linky for another year, if people are up for carrying on? However over my Christmas break I am going to absolutely prune it, so if people haven't joined in recently I'll be cutting it way back.

Celebrate the Small Things - 22 November

Greetings all and time to Celebrate The Small Things! It is that time of the week when we celebrate what's been happening in our lives, however big or small.

The rules are so simple they are barely rules: Just sign up and celebrate! It's nice to have a wee hop and celebrate with others too.

I have had one of those grumpy weeks where nothing seems to go right, but where I should absolutely celebrate that I'm lucky enough that stressful meetings and late trains and mild bouts of insomnia are the worst of my troubles. So that's what I'm celebrating!

How about you?

Celebrate The Small Things - 15 November

Greetings and welcome to Celebrate The Small Things. It's the 'Crikey how is it the 15th November already' edition ;)

How are you all? I hope you are ready to celebrate! The purpose of this is not complicated, not even a bit. Just post some celebrations in your blog, of whatever size, and sign up on the linky, then celebrate with others by hopping around the list! Just join in celebrating, is the only rule! If you can't join in regularly and don't want to go on the list, then celebrate when you can anyway!

This week I am celebrating:

Going to an interesting lecture about King Lear. It took me back to being a student and really made me want to do this more regularly.
Seeing my friend for a good catch up.
Getting to the weekend at work.
3 gym trips!

How about you? Let me know :)

Celebrate the Small Things: 8 November

Greetings all and Happy Friday to you!

We are here to Celebrate The Small Things where the aim is simple: Celebrate whatever happenings of the week you would like, however big or small! Sign up on the linky, and celebrate with others on the linky!

My celebrations are:

• I officially completed 'Couch to 5k' and ran 5km! Okay I had to use the 5 min warm up as well as the 30 min run, but I'm calling that a win!
• I have a new gym programme from my gym instructor to help keep up my stamina.
• I have handed over a difficult project at work to a colleague, which is a relief for me.
• Something went wrong with dinner and I served my boyfriend COLD PEAS but we had a good laugh about it. I have a record in things going wrong with dinner. It's not as bad as the COLD POTATO incident.
• It's FRIDAY. Nearly the weekend folks!

How about you and your celebrations?
