Staying Positive

Things that have gone right lately. My attempt to be a more optimistic person.

I will post every day, at the end of the day (or the next morning), about the good things that have happened to me in that day. The hope is that I will begin to be generally happier and more positive, rather than focusing on the negative as I tend to do.

 

If you would like to join me, e-mail me or leave a comment on one of my posts and we can talk about adding you as a poster here. I think that it would be really cool if this were to become a multi-person endeavor, if others are interested in helping to make it one.

Quote:

All things of earth have an end, and in the midst of the most joyous lives, the breath falters, they fall, they sink into the ground.
All the earth is a grave, and naught escapes it; nothing is so perfect that it does not fall and disappear.
The rivers, brooks, fountains and waters flow on, and never return to their joyous beginnings; [...]
That which was yesterday is not today; and let not that which is today trust to live tomorrow.
– from a song by the Nahuatl (Mexican Native American) poet Nezahualcoyotl
