find at least one thing each day that makes me happy and record it everyday for a year

I’ve continued on now with my daily “happiness journal” entries for 5 months without fail.

It’s great, I’m so glad I’ve done it. I would have never guessed how special it’s become to me. At first I thought of it as a bit of a pain, but I’ve actually been enjoying it.

It’s fun to look back and read my entries.

I encourage anyone who’s interested to start and/or continue! Take stock of your life.

At the end of this month of October I will have completed three months of this project. Everyday without fail. I’m proud of myself, and it has become something I really look forward to doing everyday.
I have learned that there is always something good that comes out of each day. Even when my days were low, a simple kiss or hug from my daughter was a gleaming event that I wrote down.
I’ve also learned that I took for granted that my life was not full or exciting, but my list has proven me wrong. The last three months have been amazing!

I’ve got to say, this project has been so much fun and rewarding after only two months of doing it.

When I travel I take a notebook so I can write my daily “happy thing” and then enter it into my computer when I get home.

This is like a journal for me now. And I never really stuck with journal writing because of the pressure to write so much everyday. I only write 1-2 sentences a day with this project. Everyday, I remind myself, ok, look for the happy thing to add to your list! I have found that even on the worst day I can find something that brings me happiness. That is SO POWERFUL! I would have been skeptical that I could even do that before starting this adventure.

Whoever came up with the idea to do this…BLESS YOU! It’s great!

I Cannot Wait to start this project! I have a beautiful black, handmade naturally bound book that was given to me many years ago. It is still blank. I could never bring myself to filling it. Now, I believe I have found the perfect filler.:)
This will be fun!
