On January 1, I committed myself to writing everyday for a year to note something for which I was grateful. The intent was to refocus my brain on the joy in life rather than the problems. Today is the 70th day, and to be honest, I didn’t think I’d make it this far. My intentions were good, but I figured the demands of life would keep me from it or, if nothing else, there would be a really shitty day or two when I couldn’t find anything positive. That hasn’t happened. In fact, I find myself looking forward to writing a blog post each day for the opportunity to step back and enjoy what I have in life – home, friends, loved ones, nature, and my books.
My life isn’t just good; it’s great!
