How to identify 100 things that make me happy (besides money) by fernlee

"I will never see the sky the same way, and I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday, I will never cease to fly if held down, and I will always reach too high " "

How I did it: I started this in August 2006.
I was very depressed and I didn't want medication, and i didn't want to talk to "someone" I just wanted to be left alone and i had faith in myself and believed that when i was ready i would find my way out.

On august 6th, i saw a man walking down the street from the farm market, with a sweat band around his head, carrying a bag of carrots. It made me smile, so each day since then I have written down at least one reason why this world is worth living in, and what makes me happy.

It's changed me. I changed me. And I'm very content now.

You're the first of my 100

Thank you, “random”. I am in your August 2006 state. Time to change. Googled… “do something great in my life” and after several clicks landed here.
