    3/25 for me today please.
    Well done @Wanna_Bee_Free for reaching 100 days this year (and counting). It's a hard habit to break, but I find being accountable here really helps me.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    @Wanna_Bee_Free I wish things were easier for you, glad you keep on hanging in there though, your AFDs are very much not pointless, and in fact I'm sure you achieve a high number compared to many out there who don't keep track at all xx :)

    @satchmo1 now I have to make target this month just for you! End of November was 85 days so up to 88 including yesterday.

    Declaring early for today again 4/14 to boost my motivation when I get home. Frustrating and stressful family day today which isn't what I need but needs must.

    @oceandreamer thanks for your kind words and I am trying to stick with it.

    @cathybird thanks for the reminder about how many more than zero 88 is!!
