Day 365: About a year ago I posted a photo of this little pinwheel and began a personal journey to rediscover "Happy". About a year ago I was the lowest I've ever been: withdrawn, depressed, finding it hard to get out of bed in the morning, finding that feeling happy was almost impossible. My younger sister was working on this "100 Happy Days" project thing, and she gently encouraged me to give it a go. And so I did, one day at a time, I tried to find a single thing each day that I could be Happy about. At first it was really difficult. I felt like I was really reaching for the first bit. But then, it got a bit easier. And then it became fun. I began to quite enjoy looking for the perfect "Happy", and I enjoyed writing about it and sharing it with all of you even more. As you may know or have guessed I've stretched it well past the 100-day mark, and now find myself with an entire year's worth of journal entries that if ever I feel a bit blue I can go back and read and remember how lucky I am. And here we are, at Day 365, the final entry to complete this project. I think it's important to "complete" the project, but I think it's equally important to continue to try and find Happy in each day. Though I may not post every day, I promise to share when it really feels like it should be shared. Thank you all for coming on this journey with me. Thank you for your beautifully kind notes and words of encouragement. Thank you for reading and sharing with me. I would encourage anyone who feels that they could use a boost try this project out. Like this little faded pinwheel, I've changed over the course of this past year. I feel stronger, more centred, and of course, happier. So now with this one completed, I'll be looking for a new challenge: maybe "100 Days Of Health" or "100 Days Of Gratitude" or something to that effect. Thoughts? Thanks for reading everyone. Be Happy. #365happydays
