Day 16 - Thank You!

Day 16 - It started off as something simple....

When I decided to do this blog, I challenged myself to overcome pessimistic thoughts and question everyday basic things like, why don't I have this or why can't it be more like that?  Instead I wanted to take everyday opportunities that I sometimes miss and revert those positive details to my energy and way of thinking.  So far, I would have to say that it really has been working.  I take a lot of things for granted and wish a lot of my life away because I am not all the time in an ideal situation.  Ideal for me would be to have a ton of money, sitting on an island, and drinking a gin and tonic.  But alas, reality for me is work, some money and living a pretty good life with some luxuries.  Not too shabby.  And this blog 100% reminds me of that every single day.  

I must say though, the reason why I am happy today isn't just because my challenge is working, but because it is working for others as well.  I never anticipated writing this blog and having any followers.  I never thought to myself that I would have people writing or telling me everyday that they enjoy my blog.  That they too are trying to live life through a different angle and not through a muddy telescope.  Many people have expressed their support to me for this blog and continue to challenge me to write it because they too are living vicariously through it.  

So thank you, gracias, danke, obrigado, xiexie, merci, grazie, dankie, arigato!!
And yes, I chose each one of those languages because there is at least one person from that region who takes the time to show their appreciation for my happiness challenge and theirs. 

What will day 17 bring???  Stay tuned!
