How I did it
How to practice gratitude for 30 days - and watch what happens to my outlook.
It took me
30 days
It made me

How I did it: I made a point of making a physical list at first and carrying it with me. After about two weeks, I noticed that I tended to LOOK for things around me to be grateful for. Read how I did it…

How to enjoy the last bit of 2008 by having one new and fulfilling experience in October, November, and December! Woo Hoo Yee Ha!
It took me
90 days
It made me
Very happy

How I did it: I looked for new things, new experiences for me and for my family.  I tried to look through the eyes of my children as well - LOTS of things are new for them!  I also looked and reflected on what was happening in my life without my deliberate influence - come to find out, as I have sought new experiences, new experiences and opportunities pop up!    Read how I did it…

How to daily: build motivation, release negativity, express sorrow, contemplate gratitude, embrace creativity, uncover strength
It took me
8 months
It made me
Much happier

How I did it: To start, I wrote out the goal on several sticky notes and placed them at my desk at work and my desk at home.  I used them to remind me to shift my focus and to actually write something out for each bit of the goal as regularly as I could. Read how I did it…

My daughter... 1 week ago

Well, the neurologist said that her EEGs are improved to the point that she doesn’t need one every six weeks or so – in fact she doesn’t have one sceduled at all right now! Yay! The sleep portion is still not right, but … he thinks she’s made tremendous progress. The waking portion is almost completely normal! He did start her on a second medicine that he hopes will make the seizures stop altogether! THat is an unbelievable thought to me after all we’ve been through.

I swear I feel like I’ve been facing these problems for an eternity, but in reality, the seizures started at 9 months and she’s only barely 2. Amazing how long such a short period of time can feel.

Needless to say, we’re so extremely happy with the doctor’s report and his hopes for her.
