Yesterday on the Happier Podcast, the happiness hack was to write a 6 word memoir. The concept came from Larry Smith, who wrote a book called (ironically enough) Six Word Memoirs! I took this as a challenge and I wrote 3. One for my health, one for my soul, and one for my happiness.

Less salt, less fat, better health.

I am worthy of good things.

Reading and knitting bring me joy.

I challenge you to leave a 6 word memoir in the comments! (And don’t forget to include a link to your post if you wrote one for today.)

It’s Veteran’s Day in the United States and I know that means many of you will be thanking veterans today, maybe participating in services or parades, too. I thought about writing a post that listed 3 practical ways to thank a veteran and I started with my friend google to get some ideas. I pretty quickly came across an article that listed 10 ways to thank a veteran and decided that this soldier said it all way better than I could have.

This is the link to the article: https://www.military.com/veterans-day/heres-how-to-actually-thank-veterans-for-their-service.html

I will say, the three things that really stood out for me are: write a check, bring in a veteran speaker, and hire a veteran or a veteran’s spouse. But really, you do you and decide how you want to make a difference this year.

And that’s all I have for this Thursday. If you wrote a post for today be sure and include your link below.

When I welcomed November on Monday, I alluded to the shorter days and how that leads to hibernation and hygge. Those aren’t bad things in my world, but at the same time, I don’t love that the end of daylight saving time moves everything forward abruptly by one hour. And so, in that spirit, I have 3 memes that I hope will make you laugh as you turn your clocks back this weekend.

And that’s all I’ve got for you this Thursday. If you wrote a post for this week, please include your link below.

This week has left me in need of a laugh. And just in case you need a laugh, too, I’ve got 3 for you. I’m going high brow this time, too, as they are all from The New Yorker.

Thanks for joining me for some Thursday laughs. If you wrote a post for today, please include your link below.

I’ve got 3 random things for you this week . . .

1. First up, let’s talk about television and what we’re watching these days. Ted Lasso is fantastic, the story line, the writing, the casting, it’s just about the best thing I’ve ever watched. We are rationing episodes to make it last so if you’ve finished don’t give anything away. And if you haven’t watched, you really should. Also on Apple TV+ is The Morning Show. Smart and witty and oh-so-relevant, we look forward to each new episode. Finally, I started watching MAID on Netflix the other night. It’s difficult and sad and important as it shines a light on how poverty really impacts women and children specifically.
2. I told Kym the other day, I feel like I’m in a reading slump. At the time I had 3 or 4 books on my kindle and none of them were appealing to me. She asked a question that was very relevant: what types of books as a palate cleanser for me? And I realized, it’s cozy mysteries. They are short and easy, charming and entertaining and just the thing to flex my reading muscles. I started one called The Great Witches Baking Show and it’s just what I needed. And it was free on Amazon.
3. Today is Hannah and Mikey’s 2 month anniversary. On the one hand, Iceland feels like a dream that was ages ago. On the other hand, I can’t believe my girlie is now an old married lady. Ha! Here’s a photo you haven’t seen yet:

And that’s all I have for you this week. Please include your link below if you wrote a Three On Thursday post this week.
