progress!

today marks the 20th day of my secret project.
that means there are one hundred reasons to be happy,
grateful,
and optimistic
pasted on scraps of paper
and tacked to my wall.

[i think what excites me the most is seeing this bare wall covered in lists (in other words, seeing something stark and boring covered in my most favorite pastime).]

i'm reading over the lists right now as i type this.
i'm thinking back on each day and remembering what went on and remembering how there were days where i couldn't think of five good things. days where i almost gave up and told myself that four was enough.

but i'm so glad i didn't give up.

because now i have learned that no matter how difficult life is,

there are always five things to be happy about.
