I am generally pessimistic. I routinely look at the negatives in my life and gripe and groan about it. This is not who I want to be. I want to be the guy who can focus on the positives and the good things in my life. It's makes for a more satisfying and fulfilling life. This school year could be a troublesome in my pursuit to stay positive. We have a new principle this year and must deal with all the things that go with that. I am still pursuing my masters in middle school mathematics and this often chews up a lot of my time. However, I am determined not to let this get me down.
Starting today I am going to try and record the following things each day:
3 things I am thankful for or happy about
3 things I am looking forward to
I will no doubt struggle with this. I will miss some days, maybe even some weeks. That's okay. It's a process. Some of these posts will simply be a list of things, while others I will expand on the things I have chosen for this day. I'm hoping anyone who reads this will help keep me accountable and motivated to continue this little experiment. Well here's today
Thankful
1. My Wife (I have a feeling she is going to make this list a lot. She's pretty amazing.
2. Having the time to get in a good run.
3. A successful day one of school
Looking forward to:
1. The fall dinner extravaganza that will take place this weekend.
2. Getting back into shape.
3. Traveling
