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.

Current stress level (scale of 1-10): 2

Good things that happened today:
1. Did taxes, and found that I'm getting refunds! ($200 from the federal government -- WOOOOO!)
2. Went to town meeting with my dad. It was interesting.
3. Did knitting at said town meeting. Too much too soon -- my wrist is definitely stiff and sore-ish now. But I'll take ibuprofen and lay off the knitting for a couple of days at least.
4. Got a call from Jason (while I was at town meeting, so I couldn't talk... but it was nice to see that he'd called, and I'll call him tomorrow).
5. Petted my doggy. LOTS.
