Day 3

GRATITUDE

*new opportunities (to learn)

*textbook rentals and saving $

*coffee

I have 2 article summaries to write, a marketing plan to submit, 5 chapters to read and a test to study for and I am not stressed anymore.  Go figure.  I took a chill pill and I am calm.  It will all get done.  Just might need to make some sacrifices (sorry dart tournament).  

Day 2

Gratitude

*Connecting with old friends

*having an understanding professor

*a boss who takes what I say into consideration

In the last 24 hours I have reconnected with an old friend.  Haven't seen them in a while and distance is a factor but it's nice to talk to old friends.  I decided I need to focus more on a few relationships in my life and decided to reach out to a friend that I have lost connection with and it is a connection in my life that has been vitally important so it is worth reconnecting.  

I have also decided to focus and see which relationships are worth keeping and which relationships are clearly not salvageable.  One of these will be harder to let go than others, but in the last run it will be the best for all involved. 

Wish me luck as this will be a very difficult step.  

Day 1 - Redo 2016 Recap

So last year I started this blog about being happy and writing about 3 things I am grateful for and then a positive story from the past 24 hours.  Evidently I watched a webcast about being happy.  Kind of wish I would have bookmarked that.  However, reading back on that week today made me happy so I am going to go back to this.

Since I missed quite a bit of last year I am going to do a giant gratitude list.
