6 Months down and 6 to go

Hello again,
Well today is the 6 month mark of my blog and I have been thinking about it alot. This is my half way point in this project of mine and it is causing me to reflect and see if it is making a difference in my life or not. If I am being honest, I think it has made some difference for the better but counting your blessings and being aware of them doesn't make everything ok and all rosy. I think there is more to becoming a more positive person than to be more aware of my blessings. But I think that seeing my blessings is definitely a big part of being a more positive person. I was under no illusions at the beginning that this project would stop bad stuff from happening but I hoped it would help me focus on the positive more often instead of dwell on the negative. I think for the most part I am getting there. I still see the negative and I still have to deal with it as well but it helps to see the positive side of each situation also. I am also aware that some days it is very difficult to come up with something to write about but I am happy to say that I have come up with 182 blessings so far, no matter how big or small or silly they are-I am genuinely thankful for each one. This is also a personal list of blessings for me and I don't expect everyone to relate to each blessing I post and I thank everyone who has joined me in this journey of mine so far. I do have to admit that sometimes I wonder if I will indeed be able to find the entire 365 blessings that I pledged to find in my life. But I also know that they are there and exist and I just have to be aware of everything good in my life. I fully intend to find 365 blessing and believe that I can as well.... no matter how big or small or silly they are. I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to read my blog and I hope you are able to take something away from it as well. I do challenge everyone to come up with 100 blessings at least because I know that we all have at least that many. If that is really simple for you-I applaud you and challenge you to keep going to 200. I know that each of us will have a different list and I think that is neat because it shows our uniqueness. Feel free to share blessings in your life with me and others-I would love to hear them! Or let me know that you took my challenge. Feel free to challenge others as well. Now I must go and write about Day 183. Thanks for reading my blog!
