So there it is.
I was surprised that some days I struggled to find something positive to write down. I think in the rush that is my life I don't take enough time to think of the things that make me happy, or that i am grateful for. And that's sad...
So I will be continuing the project for myself, taking the time each day to look for the positives, because they are there, I just don't pay enough attention.
What makes you happy?
Wow! You're doing so well with the competitions. Great stuff! I loved reading the simple pleasures in your life - a walk, time spent with family and pottering! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's been a lucky month! I think your list is so good - just a quiet acknowledgment of the little things that happen each day to make everything worthwhile. That's what it's all about in the end!! I love your Wills and Kate comment in there, made me chuckle. x
ReplyDeleteThanks, it has been a learning experience for me to start to acknowledge all the little things that make me happy instead of thinking life was pretty boring and there wasn't much to be grateful for.
