Happy and Grateful – Day 20

I have undertaken a challenge this year.  I am trying to find the good in every day by writing about happiness and gratitude that I feel.  No matter how small there is always something to bring a smile or make you grateful, if just for a moment.  Follow along with me as I dig deep as necessary and find the peace of the day.  Join in if you are feeling happy and grateful too – in the comments or on your own blog.  Let’s find some fun!

Today went better than I anticipated.  I tried not to dwell on the news of the day.  I said a prayer for peace and went about my day.  I only watched the news long enough to see the weather forecast.  I focused on two things for my Dad – taking him to a doctor’s appointment and trying to recover his hacked Facebook account.

The doctor went fairly well.  They at least think they may finally know why he is getting short of breath and feeling like he is going to pass out… they have only been chasing that problem for about 3 years now!

The computer work went fairly well too.  I think I have recovered his original account but his second account that got hacked may be gone forever.  Once he gets back into the original one I will do some more digging to see what to do.

I was happy I was able to keep my mind occupied this afternoon with things for my Dad until my boyfriend was off of work.  I was grateful progress was made today.And as for the news of the day… I am still saying a prayer, that is really all we can do at this point.

Day 86 – 100 Days of Happiness

Today was not one of my better days.  I had to take my Dad to an appointment, then drive out-of-town to one appointment, come back into town to a second appointment.  Only problem after I drove over an hour to get to my appointment… I discovered I had written it into my calendar wrong and it is not until next week.  I could look at the day as a waste of time driving all the way there or I can find some happiness in it.  And there was some happiness because I had to drive by where my daughter works so I stopped for a coffee and visited with her when she got off of work.  So my not so great day did have a bright spot still.  And I get to do it all over again next week!
