I've been thinking about this blog for a little while now. And I've done nothing about it. Mainly because I thought that I was too busy, that no one would be interested, and that it would be difficult to find things to write about.
I really was 'down'.
But just thinking about it made me start really noticing the little things that made me smile. I started thinking that this blog could actually be 'do-able'.
And I still did nothing about it.
Then, the other day I came across this article by Hillel Fuld. It promoted the use of blogs, and talked about how they can be used to share your knowledge and ideas with others. It also discussed the use of blogs as a resume and a way to brand yourself online. It got me thinking again. Did it matter if anyone else was interested or not. The main person I would writing this blog for was myself. If it helped anyone else to smile and be happy, then that would just an added bonus. I thought that maybe, just maybe, this blog was a good idea.
But I still did nothing about it.
Until today. Today I had a moment of clarity. It had been a fairly normal day. Busy as always, but not manic (or maybe I've just gotten used to manic, I'm not sure). But for some reason I was unable to shake myself out of my displeasure and stress. And it got worse as the day went on. I just couldn't seem to stop myself being negative. Even the slow speed of the internet irritated me! I realised that I could go on putting off the creation of this blog forever. But that no one could help me to be more positive. I had to help myself. And I have a lot to be positive about and a lot to be grateful for.
So here I am. I've done it. I've started my blog. And I'm really looking forward to making a note of the things that make me smile and the things that make me happy.
I hope that anyone reading this blog will find something posted here that makes them happy. Or reminds them about something else that makes them happy. I think I'd like to read about what makes other people happy too.
