Day 1: 20 days to go!

Hello web-users! This is the first day of my 21-day challenge I have set for myself and any of you out there.

Everyday, I will come back here and write down three positive things I thought, did or said today.

Hey: Did you know that when you smile at a random passerby 75% of them will smile back - lets aim to increase that number!


Without further ado - let the blogging begin!


    1. Today I was sick, so I stayed at home. But I created this blog, so. . .ta da! Positive point one!

    2. I stayed optimistic, and decided that staying at home = free time.

    3. Well I felt a bit better later on, so I went to work, I'm a waitress. I smiled at customers, and tried not to be too crabby :)


In fact, I got a few compliments like, "Thank-you for the service," and "Thanks for looking after us! Have a good night!" and even a "How are you feeling today?" from one regular.

(For that last one it was early on in the night so I might have still looked a little peaky. . .or it could have been that I have light skin anyway!)

Okay, so you might not find these writings extreme and inspirational and moving right now. But this blog is still in it's early days. . .day. Just wait 'til tomorrow - I'll blow you all away with my optimism and positive actions!

Wait, it's the weekend. Meh, I'll invite Gus-gus over to catch up on some Castle episodes together instead. Then I'll ambush him with my happiness!

  1. Why shall we aim to increase that number?? Can't you just leave people alone in their happy worlds!? :/

    Oh, I'm sure I will be very inspired. :)

    Ahh, but I'm an observant pessimism, I see everything, but I just decide to ignore the rose since it wasn't worth the thorns.
