Day 87 - Is It working?

I have been 2 weeks behind on my blog. About a week ago, midway through my very overdue spell, I realized that I have been really successful in finding the joy in my life. It's at the forefront and not something I have to seek out. I am very happy to feel this way. Not that I don't complain about life, a lot, but it's also really easy to see all the great things going on around me. I realized that this focus has really helped turn my outlook. I considered stopping the blog because I'd arrived at my goal. Well, tonight was bad. So tired and 3 cranky kids, and hours and hours of chores after a long hard day's work. And I started to try to think about the joy, the positive, the happiness in my day. It's a struggle. Even knowing how behind I was on the blog brought me down. So, here I am, when I'd rather be in bed, getting caught up. Getting one thing off my list and pouring over my memories of the day and noticing that it really wasn't all that bad. My day is punctuated with bits of happiness, even when it's bad. It's all about perspective and that's the purpose of my project. So, I won't quit, I will see this through, and see what happens to my perspective after a full year of focused shift.
