"Must start making myself putting positive things in here."
Then she did. After a really harsh couple of years, she made the conscious effort to point out the positive aspects in her life.
This is not a new idea to me. At one point I had multiple "blank" books, journals, whatever you want to call them, that had been filled with nothing but small things that had come to mind throughout the day. Things that caused a momentary smile, or an inner giggle, or that just brought some sort of small inspiration into my life. It took years to fill them, and one ex to make them disappear.
Now, there is blogging. Blogging is a major pastime for many people. Not for me, so much, but it exists! So the idea came that - well gee - why not use a blog to blurt out my little "happy things" for everybody to see? Why not leave the comment section open for others to share their own, if they so desire? So I took the time to set this up this morning. I found a happy little background (When life gives you lemons, add vodka and party!) and got to work.
Woot.
Now, for my happy thing: An apartment! It's silly, but I haven't had a place all on my very own since 1998. My son was born in '99. By that time I was living with my (now ex) husband. It's been a string of living with other people ever since. Not that living with other people is a bad thing, mind, but that it's not been on my own. Not that living alone is going to last - I mean, really, I've spent all of one night alone since moving into the place - or that the company won't be welcome. It's the idea that it was my hard work that made this possible. And a little intervention from above. Yanno?
