    It was a difficult time for our staff to participate, as we have a board meeting and an office move at the end of this week. We also don't have in person staff meetings where we can promote this type of all-staff activity. If we try to do another group activity, we will need to find better ways to communicate--perhaps through word of mouth and supervisors.

    The gratefulness challenge has helped me realize that I do say "thank you" a lot, but also challenges me to take a minute to think about and write down what I'm grateful for. In these last few days of the challenge, I will try to use the challenge to express appreciation to folks I don't often thank explicitly.

    Yesterday, I had worked 8 hours and still had most of my day's to do list left undone. But I remembered that one of my challenges is to not work more than 8 hours. I left the office and still had time to stop by the grocery store, heat up some dinner, and take the dog for a short walk. It's nice to be doing an employer-condoned activity that tells me not to work more than 8 hours!

    I've lived in DC for over a year now, and have been wanting to connect with a community organization in a deeper way, beyond just attending events. Last week I met one on one with someone from a Showing Up for Racial Justice chapter and talked about what her committee does and needs. Setting a challenge to connect helped me go for it (no excuses about time, weather, energy), and now I have a friendly face to welcome me when I attend my first committee meeting.

    Excited about starting the challenge with our @earthsharenational team! I hope this will give us the opportunity to connect with each other over more than our work.
