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.

February 22, 2007

Music: Goo Goo Dolls Gutterflower, Papa Doo Run Run The California Project
Reading: Hembly "Reply All," Hoagland "Lawrence," Puchner "Leda and the Swan," Wenderoth "Twelve Epistles from Letters to Wendy's," Ondaatje "Letter to a Sad Daughter," Emanuel "inside gertrude stein," Van Duyn "Letters from a Father," Wordsworth Preface to Lyrical Ballads (second edition)
Current stress level (scale of 1-10): 8

Good things that happened today:
1. Lunch with Jason.
2. Got a bunch done!
3. WROTE! Finished one thing I'd already started, and then wrote a whole set of haikus! It's amazing... when I get in the habit of just doing something every evening it gets easier to do... not like I didn't know that, but when I'm actually able to get in that habit I'm always amazed. I guess it probably also helps to have prompts.
4. Although I am sick, I do not have bronchitis as of yet. Yay for catching things in the very early stages.
5. Possibly figured out who the second critic I'm using for a paper that requires us to analyze one text using two critics is. Thank GOD because it was really stressing me out.
6. Wore the happy book earrings that Jason gave me.
