in Chit-Chat
When I was on WW, I used to post my happy list every day on the message board. I always try to come up with 10 things to really keep things in perspective.

Hope y'all don't mind if I continue it here! Please add your own lists!!!

1. My snuggly sweet puppygirl.
2. My new job that starts in a week!!
3. Getting to spend this week on the coast.
4. Feel good sports stories.
5. Dinner with my niece tonight.
6. Feeling in control of my food.
7. Grilled shrimp.
8. My ankle is healing - slowly but surely.
9. Hanging out with my parents today.
10. The most amazing friends & family in the world!

    Hm.. I'll give it a go..

    1. Not having to work today.
    2. Sleeping in.
    3. Getting some solid studying/practice completed.
    4. Control over food.
    5. 30 Day P90X Progress Picture.
    6. The incredible support and motivation from my MFP friends. <3
    7. Knowing I should only have one more week to cram for boards and then it'll be over. (Hopefully)
    8. A nice, hot, relaxing shower without the rush of being somewhere afterward.
    9. Reminiscing with friends.
    10. An evening alone to regroup before the upcoming work week.

    Coming up with ten was hard.. Maybe I'll limit to 5 for now on. :P

    Good idea, though.. It's very important to keep reminding ourselves of the good things going on since there is a tendency to focus on the bad (like how STRESSED OUT I AM). :wink:

    Great idea!

    It's the little things, right? Today I went shopping and got some paint & supplies to paint my condo (it's a yellow colour and I HATE it!) and I got a new garbage can. I know that shouldn't be really exciting but I hate the under-sink one I currently have and a functional life makes a woman happy, right?!
