I think I am going to start by keeping a whiteboard or journal handy around the house and whenever I’m feeling discontent or sad I’ll try to write down as many things that I can think of that I’m thankful for. Then I can keep looking at that list and will see how blessed I am and will hopefully not be so sad and will be more joyful and content. I think the key to being more joyful is being more thankful even for the little things. If I can get in the habit of thanking God for all He’s given me maybe I won’t be so emotionally swayed by my circumstances. It’s worth a try!

I’m going to start setting a timer for an hour at a time and shut my computer down when two hours is up. Also I won’t open my computer until 12:00 and won’t have it on past 9:00.

I’m going to read a new classic every 3 weeks until I run out of good ones. I’m starting off with Jane Eyre and then going on to some works by Shakespeare and C. S. Lewis.
