How to find at least one thing each day that makes me happy and record it everyday for a year
It made me
 "Maybe optimism really is handy after all, and not just for people who won't let you be sad when you really, really want to."
How I did it: I focused on it, hard. I didn't let myself slip back into my typical sombre attitude; even if I didn't want to, I logged online and forced myself to find something happy, although it often meant pretending to be sunny and cheerful just so that people on the Internet wouldn't think I'm depressing. And you know, it works, it honestly does.

Positive
How I did it: I have been recording this on my phone the recently downloaded an application which allows me to do this. I like to do it at the end of the day so I can reflect and go to bed feeling positive. Or I may do it at a time when I feel down so that it forces me to realise all the good there is.

Very Happy
How I did it: Although I've made no entries on this goal it kind of started with making myself aware of things around me and now I find naturally everyday I have something that makes me feel all warm n cozy in God's gifts be it an awsome sunset or a daily miracle which I list in my 'be thankful for God's miracles in my life' goal.So I'm going to sign off this goal as a continuing goal for time to come.

How I did it: I haven't actually Done this goal but I'm removing it from my list in favour of something else. I found myself really stretching for that "One thing" every day which wasn't really the point of the goal for me. The original aim was to be more grateful and acknowledge the little things in life. Instead I was getting to the end of a day or two and having to think back on "what can I put in for today. it wasn't helping me acknowledge that"hap… Read how I did it…

Appreciative
How I did it: Mainly, I just did it. I've been on this site for not quite three years, and during that time I've followed many people who have had this goal (and similar goals). But I didn't initially jump on board. I worried that I didn't have time or that my entries wouldn't be good enough. I made excuses. But eventually I decided that I needed to start focusing on the positive more.... so, I did it. I don't always… Read how I did it…

reflective
How I did it: It is easy doing something like this online for me, as I am on the computer alot each day. I was intending on doing this everyday for a year but accidently went to the "i've done this" button when i was adding an entry and didnt know how to undo what I did!SO instead I"ve added a new goal of listing what I'm grateful for, daily. It's similar but different! Read how I did it…

POL from Kel! With a side of massive grins! Hanging out with Miss Smellypants at the bookstore and not spending any money (for a change). Making plans with U to go storm the zeppelin. A very nice fella who made my acquaintance and went out of his way to be nice (which is definitely not par for the course of the rampant douchebaggery that occurs at my POE). Eighteen doves in the yard! Feeding the birds.

~ the puppy came home today
I didn’t write this yesterday, because I was busy cuddling the dog. He was still feeling like crap & hurting. So we gave him pain killers & I cuddled up close to comfort him. He fell asleep.
Funtash is feeling somewhat optimistic about life in general.

Realizing that the baby of a close friend has not passed. He’s in a poor situation, but possibilities remain. My heart goes out to them. From a posting his brother had, I though they had lost the baby. Unimaginable.

I found it easy to find one thing each day that makes me happy, yet impossible to record it here. I guess I’m just not that into the recording, would rather do the doing.
