This is Day 1 of the 21-Day Positivity Challenge held in March 2012, where we work on being positive for 21 days. The challenge is now over but you can do the tasks in your own time. Visit the overview page for all the challenge tasks.

Hello everyone, and welcome to Day 1 of the 21-Day Positivity Challenge (21DPC)!! :D *dance*
We have over *300* official participants now!! To all of you who have duly signed up and helped spread the word to your social networks (or even via blogging about it), thank you. The challenge can only be a success through our collective efforts. The more people sign on to 21DPC, the better it will be for everyone, because hey – that means even more positive energy to go around. :D There is never a limit to how much positive energy there can be – abundance has no lmits.
For those of you whose friends / family read your message and decided to join in on 21DPC too, that’s fabulous. PE Challenges are always particularly fun when you get to do it with someone you know! You can keep each other accountable and learn more about each other in the process.
If you are doing it by yourself, not to fret. We have over 300 official participants here with us for 21DPC, and we’re definitely going to get more people joining us over the next few days before I close the sign ups. In the course of these 21 days, all of us will be doing 21DPC together as one, reflecting on the daily questions, sharing our answers in the comments section of the daily posts, and engaging each other in meaningful discussions.
This is a challenge to be done together as a community, as a group, as one Personal Excellence family, which is really the reason why PE is even here. So do not be afraid to share your answers openly and be fully honest with yourself here. There is no judgment here; anyone who tries to do that will be promptly barred from the site. The .co in the PE domain represents community, not individuality- always remember that whenever you come here to the site.
Important: Sign Up First Before Reading Any Further
If you’re new to 21-Day Positivity Challenge, or you have not signed up yet (your name should be in the official participants list), please read the announcement post and sign up first before going any further: 21-Day Positivity Challenge. All details on the challenge, what to expect, and how to sign up can be found at the post.

What To Expect for the Next 21 Days
1. Positivity Question
Changing Your Life, Starting From Your Thoughts
As you have read in the announcement post, I will be assigning you a positivity question every day, for the next 21 days.
The question may be simple, like asking “What is your favorite movie?” to something deeper, like “What is 1 positive thing you can share about your least favorite person?” There are days when there will be 2-3 questions combined into 1 (for example, today’s question) – you are expected to answer all the questions, and not just answer the first one and skip the rest.
The idea is to cultivate positivity in your life, via working on the root of it all – our thoughts. Asking ourselves the right questions will help us think in the right manner. And from there, the right actions, habits, and behavior will follow suit. As the saying goes:
“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.” — Anonymous
Your Honesty Required
My request to you is to be as completely honest with yourself in answering the questions. Because the more honest you are, the more insights you will unveil, the more you will grow. Think of it as it you’re in a dark room alone, by yourself, and there’s no one there to listen, comment, or judge. What is the first thing that comes to mind? What would be your most truthful response to the question?
This challenge is not about sugar-coated answers and creating an illusion of happiness and positivity to everyone out there. You are probably kidding yourself if you think we’ll be jumping around in these 21 days, skipping merrily, laughing like little kids and forcing ourselves to smile every day.
Don’t feel that there’s a need for you to write something positive just because this is a positivity challenge, because that’s totally untrue. As I shared in Principle #1 of 10 Timeless Principles To Be Happy, part of being happy / positive includes airing out grievances, unhappiness, frustrations, anger, sadness, disappointment, etc inside of you – whatever they may be. These (negative) energies, when unaired, are merely *stuck* in your consciousness, with nowhere else to go.
In the end, they end up affecting you on a subconscious level, in more ways than you can imagine. The more (unhappiness) you release through your answers in 21DPC (in a constructive manner, of course), the more happiness can flow your way.
2. Positivity Task
Most of the days will have a positivity task assigned. This task is linked to the day’s question, and usually comprises of a simple action that can be done on the day itself. Do complete the task as part of your 21DPC participation.
3. Positive Thing For the Day
Last but not least, you are to identify at least 1 positive thing that you got out of the day, for every day of 21DPC. If you can identify more than 1, that’s even better! The more the better! :D
Sharing To Help Yourself and Help Others
As with every challenge, I highly recommend you share your responses in the comments section of the daily posts with the other participants, to get the most out of your 21DPC experience.
If you’re not comfortable sharing your answers under your usual name/nick on PE, then create some fake, random nick (so no one will know it’s you) and post your answers under that nick (for the remainder of 21DPC, if you want). Replace others’ names (if any) in your answers with fake nicks as well. There is always something powerful about transparently writing your thoughts out there in the open, vs. keeping it to yourself in your little book.
Besides, do not underestimate the change you can make in others’ lives just by sharing your answers here. After all, have you not benefited in the past from reading honest sharings by others, be it on Personal Excellence, or on other websites? What would the world be if no one wants to share? Think about the people out there you can effect. By helping others, you are also helping yourself.
21DPC Day 1 Question
Given that this is a positivity challenge, for Day 1 today, I want you to think about how happy you are. Not just today, but as a person.
On a Scale of 1-10, How Happy Are You? And Why?
(Image)
Share as much as you want in your answers, from a few words to a few pages long. Be honest as you can. Answer both questions, and not just the first question.
And if you did not give yourself a 10/10 for your score, I have one additional question for you:
Why Did You Not Give Yourself a 10/10?
Again, be completely honest in your response. There is no judgment here at PE. Only positivity and love.
While we’re on the topic of happiness, be sure to check out the related articles on how to achieve happiness (or unhappiness, as per the second article) at PE:
…and the manifesto versions:
Your Tasks Today
- Reflect and answer today’s question(s). Write as few or as many words as needed to fully express your thoughts. There is no word limit.
- Identify at least one positive thing about your day. It may be something small or something big – as long as you deem it as something positive, it counts. If you have more than 1 thing to share, then by all means, go for it!
Share Your Answers!
After you are done, share your answers in the comments area!
If you’re doing this at the start of the day, you can post your answer for today’s question first, then return at the end of the day to answer the 2nd part, on identifying at least one positive thing about your day.
Check out other participants’ answers. Pick 1-2 participants’ answers and make a meaningful reply to them. Engage in the discussions. This is a group course, so let’s support each other in these 21 days!
Look forward to reading your responses!

It is hard to rate myself at the moment.
The last few months have been really tough.
Relationship and work are not on the right track. I guess I’ve grown up in a happy environment and it’s now that I feel that I am growing in the real life environment. I have always been positive and whenever I have gone through rough time, my family and friends were always here to support me.
Now I feel really lonely, far away from everyone. It is a big decision on what to do next. Again, the past 6 months from a break up and stress at work, brought my mood down. I have seek for help and got better but my moods are swinging. I know it is a healing process and I want to be back to me, myself who used to be very happy – rating 8-9 out of 10.
Positive thing about this is the whole challenge of life, I am experiencing the true real life and I know I will get better. Not sure how long it will take, but I am sure I will get there and be myself again : )
Today I am thankful I arrive safely home after a break. It was a good flight and manage to sleep a bit. I got home, rest and had a good sleep. Though I can feel the loneliness again, but I should remember how strong I was, I am and I will be.
HOW HAPPY ARE YOU?
;) 8-10 :D
why:
-Because I trust in God
– I have my loving & caring family
-My good friends and supportive peers
-my cute pets
-music
-For the opportunity to love, care learn, change and grow
-for my dreams and future goals
-my wisdom
However:
-Sometimes i need to control my emotions especially when i am disappointed, upset, frustrated and broke.
-I feel the need to widen my social circle. Gain more Friends and not just hi-bye friends.
-I need to change my bad attitudes and habits because it affects my happiness.
-I feel the need to express my self fully and get let go of bad beliefs that hinders my self expression.
-i need to have more positive environment because right now the people around me are more of discouraging instead of encouraging, users and superficial.
– i need to be tougher. :D :p
“On a Scale of 1-10, How Happy Are You? And Why?”
I don’t feel there is a fixed number, but 7/10 seems about right. Sometimes I don’t even know why I’m happy or unhappy!
“Why Did You Not Give Yourself a 10/10?”
There’s is that saying “Happiness is a state of mind” which I believe in. Doesn’t matter what I own or don’t. When I think about what God had blessed me with, I feel fortunate. Even though there are so many things that I want & can’t have, I know that this isn’t the reason for my not-so-happy spirits sometimes. The reason why I don’t feel happy sometimes is mostly because of myself & the almost constant feeling of underachievement. I’ll consider a happiness of 10/10 as the highest possible earthly happiness since true happiness can only be received in the next life. So in order to be happy 10/10 in this life, I just have to do what God is pleased with, I just have to do the right things & avoid harming others in any way (including myself), because I feel that a clear conscience is the most important condition of happiness.
Positive things of the day:
①Woke up on time without an alarm!! It’s just such a good feeling when you wake up and you think you’re late but you’re not :D
②Baked a cake & for the first time it is a success :dance:
③Managed to do a lot of high intensity exercise
Thank God :)
Oh yeah. i love my best friend. she is amazing. Right now she is holding my baby so i can finish some designs of a store i am opening
Although i do experience days where i feel like i am a 7 or 8 i know deep down inside i am a 4 or 5. I believe it is because of the sudden divorce i experienced in September of last year. I never knew the man I had adored would do this to mean and my daughter. I am living with my best friend now trying to survive as an unemployed single mom.
I do have hope things will get easier and God will grant me something better in life cus man I have had hard life.
I rate my happiness as 6/10.
I am a very positive person and have a great family and great friends. But I can’t help that something is missing. An empty void that I keep searching for.
On a positive note, I am able to start working out again. I am loving the process, feeling good about myself, working out and the positive results I feel and see by eating clean foods. Keeps me motivated…
This question is harder to answer than I would think. I shy from giving an actual score because my happiness is on a sliding scale – every day is different. It’s hard to even pinpoint an average, though I do see myself as more of a glass-half full type of person. I am usually happy, but am I happy with where I am in life or am I just happy because that’s the type of person I am? The answer is different for both.
I’m actually more excited to look at this question at the end of the month. Right now, I hesitantly give myself a 6 or 7 on the happy scale. Higher up because of my family and friends and the beautiful moments of life that I experience. But lower than I’d wish because of things like my house, my organizational struggles, money, etc. At the end of the month, I hope to see this number higher and myself not so hesitant to exuberantly shout “10!”
My positive thing for today: My friend and co-worker took the time out of her busy schedule to sit down with me today and help me begin to organize all my to-do lists and daily schedules. I’m excited because I already feel relieved and not as overwhelmed as I did yesterday. Definitely a good thing. Also, I bought an awesome new skirt that I can’t wait to wear tomorrow. Happy day!
If we’re talking about temperament, I’d say I was an 8/10 on the Happiness scale. I’ve always been a happy, optimistic person for the most part. However, I lost my son to leukemia 2 years ago and it’s hard to allow myself to be happy in this moment when at the back of my mind, I am grieving his loss. I think I shouldn’t be happy when I think of all his suffering and how much I miss him. Also, I left my husband recently (we just couldn’t cope with each other as we grieve) although it is not a bitter change for me. I can’t speak for him.
I am at 10/10!
A dozen years ago, I had a near-death experience, and found myself in a new relationship with God. It took me a long time to figure out that I am on a mission from God to be happy; to be genuinely grateful for all the blessings of my life. It took me even longer to figure out how to express that in my day-to-day life. I had a history of rage that needed to be addressed, and some relationships that needed healing. For the last 3 years, I have been incredibly happy!
I’ve noticed that when I am tired, or don’t exercise, I drift into a state of ingratitude, which equates with unhappiness. These little dips never last for long, because I’ve made such a pattern of ‘praying without ceasing’.
Today, I woke up in my lover’s arms. :heart:
That’s amazing Susan. I don’t know whether to say congratulations on your happiness or on your consciousness, so I’ll just congratulate you on the most important thing which is the new relationship with God. Congratulations :D
“These little dips never last for long, because I’ve made such a pattern of ‘praying without ceasing’.”
So true! Praying does leave us with higher spirits, whether before it we were sad or mad :)
God bless :heart:
On a Scale of 1-10, How Happy Are You? And Why?
6/10.
My journey through enlightenment is strewn with bittersweetness – understanding and acceptance of myself (whom I’ve lost years ago to anger and strife, and the realization of the efforts involved to correct these behaviours are very overwhelming. Though seemingly materialistic, I am extremely sad that I now need to sell my “dream car” to support my family more securely – part of my enlightenment was the rejuvenation of my love for cars, so this hits pretty hard…
I am, however, very happy that I have a job I love, a family that I am passionate about and I’m on the road to contentment/self-love.
One of the positive things about my day was the yoga class that my wife and i attended. We both felt great after the class. Another positive thing about my day was that my students seemed to be interested in a new project that I assigned to them today and were asking some good questions about their topics.
I’d rate my happiness as 7 or 8/10—I have my health, a wonderful wife, a good career as a high school teacher and a great family. I can’t give it a 10/10 because I worry too often about my future and my retirement. I also sometimes lack confidence or stop believing in my own talents and abilities and indulge my fears too much.
On a scale from 1-10, I am 7 “Happy”, I gave myself this number because I can honestly say there are portions that are lacking substance. Understanding that happiness is a feeling/emotion that will not always be present, at times where I feel like I should celebrate this feelings it becomes a deterrent in not wanting to acknowledge all the powers of belief given to me. I want to be happier, I strive to smile and cherish the beauty of life. I’m sorta lost on this question. It might be the over thinking or the depression stages I experience that diminish me from opening up or understanding where I stand with my own happiness. But I have a lot and am fortunate for where I am going in life.
Growing up, I was taught to be happy with “what you have”, don’t seek more than whats given unless you are ready to handle the alternate emotions that come with happiness. Find happiness outside of materialistic things. Cherish whats given. Do not be greedy. etc. All these are self-imposed notions I placed on myself as I traveled vastly through periods of growth. Part of me feels inclined to be satisfied with the happiness given while unsatisfied for more. This is in turn for why I give myself a 7, not a 8, not a 6, but a 7.
I think I would be happier if I had a job and not living on my last dollar. But then again I am learning so much moral during this journey.
Identify at least one positive thing about your day: I got up out the house early had great reflection at the park, and did a self talk for motivation. All though I didn’t fully follow thru, I am still humbled at my courageousness in beginning March with a step closer to happiness. :)
I guess 4/10.
There’s quite a lot in my life that I’m not happy with and while I do have some really good days, there’s a lot that I just don’t like I guess.
I didn’t give myself a 10/10 because I’m not as happy as I could be. I know there are a lot of changable things that would make me happier that either I just haven’t done or that I’m unable to do at this time. It varies.
Tasks:
1. Having to actually think about this stuff is making me just kind of regret a lot of things and want to admonish myself for not doing things I know I should be to take care of stuff.
2. I got dinner for free, and someone I’m helping from church thanked me for helping out.
Happiness: 7
Why? Most everything in my life is going well. I have a beautiful family, we have our health and I’m very grateful for that.
Why not 10? I feel like I’m not reaching my full potential, I can be pessimistic even when everything seems to be going well, I’m riddled by insecurity and I don’t feel like I’m sucessful.
One positive thing today: I bought and enjoyed the sweetest organic raspberries!
6/10, Im not happy with myself and I think I can get happier. I have the feeling that I may also fake some happiness to decieve myself that I’m happier than what I am.
When I can wake up (almost) everyday with a smile and positive energy I will give myself a 10/10
One positive thing today was that although it didnt go as planned I still didnt give up completely.
I would give myself 6/10: have been working on the last 4 points lately, hence joining this challenge;)
My 4 points are missing because my husband of most of my life has asked for a separation….it has brought a lot into perspective and sucked out the joy from life for me. I am on a learning curve to regroup and get some of that back.
Positive things today: I have the energy to go to a yoga class tonight and for the first time in almost 4 months, I made plans and had lunch with an old friend. I am on the mend :)
4/10. Honestly just been moping around. I lost my nephew last June and I still am sadden by it everyday. I see kids who look like him on the street, and remind me of what this world has lost.
I feel as though he always got the short end of the stick (he was killed by a drunk driver) He was only 17. I feel regret, because I think I could of done more for him i.e. stayed up late watching junk t.v. when I had him with me, not being so moody when I was around him.
I just wanted the best for him, and feel like he didn’t get it from me. I want the best for everyone.
Sorry, to rant, it’ just feels good to express myself.
Positive: I am thankful for husband, who has been supportive thru all this year.
:heart:

7/10 I feel like I am a very lucky person! I generally find the positive in most situations.
Today I get to spend some fun time with my son!! This makes me really happy!!!
I’m happy for you and your son! It’s wonderful to hear you can find the positive in most situations. Thank you so much for sharing. :mrgreen: :hug:
On a Scale of 1-10, How Happy Are You? And Why?
– Maybe a 7. I have a wonderful partner and two awesome dogs. We live in a nice area with beautiful weather, lots of parks, grocery stores, and walking trails. Because my partner has a good job right now I have free time to stay fit, pursue some of my interests, cook healthy meals, keep the house clean, and take very good care of the dogs. I’m in the best physical condition of my life, and enjoying Crossfit, yoga, and running. I’m slowly making some new friends. I’ve finally gone mostly vegan, which makes me feel very good about myself.
Why Did You Not Give Yourself a 10/10?
– My partner and I have some communication issues that have developed over the years, so we’re working on those. We each have our own emotional/psyhological problems that can make non-judgmental communication difficult at times. I focosu on negative things very often, so it’s hard for me to see the positive in everything. I’m also very frsutrated by the political and economic situation in the US over the past decade. It makes me feel angry and powerless. I’m also very concerned about the damage mankind has done to the environment and the other species who live here; I can’t help but think that it’s too late for many species at this point, and that really depresses me. I wish I could make everyone in the world care about conservation and animal welfare.
Identify at least one positive thing about your day.
– I cleaned the house! Even though cleaning itself isn’t enjoyable, I feel soooo relieved and satisfied afterwards. I also got to sleep in a little, which was a nice treat.
Hey Chelsea! Just a quick note to let you know that all your comments have been marked as “spam” by the anti-spam plugin for some reason (I believe it’s related to the structure of the url you’ve linked to in the url box). Anyway, I’ve unspammed all your comments so you should be able to see them now. Sorry about the inconvenience!
Oh, that’s weird. Well thank you so much! I appreciate it. :)
So I’m giving myself a 8/10 today. Things have been emotionally difficult recently but I’ve managed to have some time off work to recover and am getting back on track. Today was a great day as I spent it with a good friend of mine having a lovely relaxing spa day! It’s the first time I’ve ever done that but it was lovely and I would definitely recommend!
I would rank my happiness at about a 6-7. I am unemployed and looking for a job :( , but that is pretty much the only negative thing in my life right now. I am blessed to have the resources to live until I find a new job!
The one positive I got out of today is how fortunate I am to have such good friends and family that encourage me daily to not get frustrated with my job search, and assure me all will be done in God’s timing!
Ok if I’m brutally honest I’d give myself a 6/10. I’m generally happy and positive and all those things but when I’m not, I’m not!
The times when I’m not generally involve some feeling of lack: I don’t feel I have enough money. I don’t feel I have enough support. I don’t feel I have enough…I feel like I’m not doing enough…I feel like there isn’t enough time…all thoughts/feelings of lack.
I get easily aggravated too and that affects my overall happiness levels.
But I know the truth-we live in abundance so those lack feelings are not REAL! I also know that I get easily aggravated when I’m not focused. So when I get myself back in check on those two things, I remember all the wonderful things I have to be happy about!
Hey DaVida,
I must say that I understand your feelings of lack pretty well, I also have them more often than I’d like. Your answer kind of resonates with me. Just as you said, when I am feeling blue for all those lackings (many of them fake), remembering all the good thing I do have cheers me up.
It’s the point of this whole challenge: improve your life focusing in the positive things.
:hug: It seems that we really have a lot of participants this time. The more the merrier :hug:
=On a scale of 10, how happy are you? And why?=
I think I would rate myself 8 out of 10. :) To be honest, overall, my life is happy :D . I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth. However, I think that my family is a happy one and I always receive love, care and support from my family. And I’m super grateful to them for that. :love:
I’m from a developing country but thanks to my parents’ supports, I can receive one of the best educations in the world. So I’m young, dynamic and have a bright future waiting for me. Well, I just find myself lucky. :shy:
Compared with my peers, I think that my outlook on life and many things is actually more positive. Since I went to England for my study, my experiences have enhanced and as a result, my attitude has also been better and more mature. For example, I still remember how stubborn and blind I was in the past. I could refuse to accept something; it may be super obvious, though :lol: . Giving up on my tasks happened easily. However, I’m a lot more confident and persistent. Giving up is no longer my way but I persuade myself to keep my goals in mind and do my best until the end. ;)
On the other hand, there are some aspects in life, which I want to improve. Sometimes, my views seem to be inflexible and I feel that I want people to see the things as I do. But it can’t happen. Another problem is my relationships with my friends. I find myself self-fish when I feel envious of them because of their higher grades. :( I don’t like the habit of comparing myself with others but it’s my problem now.
What’s more, I kind of worry about the future. How my life is going to be when I go to work? Will I be able to get successes or am I going to put my parents down? @.@ It’s just weird because this uneasiness appeared after I turned 18. It’s just not logical at all. I know I’m still young but it feels like I’m in another period of my life and the old time of carelessness will never be back. It may sound silly but…=.=’’
Well, I don’t expect these things disappear magically. However, by doing this challenge and possessing a positive mind, I think I can find solutions to every problem in my life. :dance:
Today I am 5/10 happy.. I am so confused about where I’m going in life..I need to find a more specific life purpose and not be so dependent on other people..I need to find my self without having separation anxiety attacks because I am not with other people:)
Hi Andria. Currently having same difficulties as you and I know we can! Wishing us the best comeback ever for the coming challenge! :) *hugs*
Wishing us the best fufu!!:) *hugs*
On a scale of 1 to 10 i can say that i am 4/10.. i have been going through a lot of financial difficulties that has resulted in me being very depressed and not enjoying entirely because i have to think of the obligations that i have to meet i.e bills e.t.c and having no means of meeting this and struggling all the time.
One things that happened today that made me happy was being the first one to be dropped from school when normally i am always the last ( though i don’t mind) because i live in a different side of the town. It was a deliberate move by the driver..
Hey Serenity, hope your troubles clear up & you are already focusing on positiveness which is great!
That bus surprise happened to me a few times too when I used to go to school, it felt like coming back home earlier created extra time to do things! Precious simple joys in life :)
I went through some heartache the past couple of years. By the grace of God, family, friends & counseling I’ve come out on the other side a better person because of it. The good Lord has given me someone to look forward too. I have my first grandbaby due in May & I pray I’m a light in Camren’s life. She already is in mine!
Hi Cindy :) Is Camren the baby or the baby’s mom? With God’s will your grandbaby will be lucky to have your loving bright energy in his/her life.
Camren is my future grandbaby’s name <3
Thank you for your words of encourage :) They are much appreciated :)
On a scale of one through ten of how happy I am, I would rate it at six. My rating is a six and not a ten because I feel so lost in my life purpose. I voluntarily quit my job at a top public accounting firm over a year ago, passed the CPA exam during my time-off, and now that the exam is done I don’t know what to do with my life. I also live at home with my boyfriend’s family and as much as I love them and they like me living with them, I want to have a place to call my own. Also, I am not entirely sure that being in a relationship with my boyfriend for almost a decade is what I want for the rest of my life even though he has all the qualities any woman would want in a husband. Finally, I envy my close friends who have so much going on in their lives and I compare my life to theirs and feel so empty and have nothing to show for my accomplishments.
A positive thing about my day is that I took my dog to the dog park and I absolutely love watching romp around leash-free and playing with other dogs. After the dog park, I gave my dog the full on cleaning treatment for the month and I love it when his ears, nails, hair, teeth are thoroughly cleaned.
Head up Sara, your answers will come :) Be ready girl! I’m praying for you!
I love Cindys encouraging words.. Sara, i know what it feels like to be in your position. I did the same thing of quitting my job etc.. i will complete my studies in a few months time and i am scared of what happens after.. but i keep sticking to my faith and praying everyday that God makes the way easier for me as i have suffered for too long.. i am walking on faith.. try that it might help…
I totally understand and have been there (transition). It’s a matter of time Sara before you’re in your own space! WOW I swear it seems like something I would write! Keep your head up!!!
Hi everyone! I am here to do my first day challenge.
How happy am I? Hmmm well that’s simple, I give myself 9/10. Here is why: I am happily married, I love where I live, I love my job, and I am just happy with everything in my life in general. I don’t give myself a perfect 10 for two reasons: one, I feel like I could be in a better place financially. My husband and I don’t have a lot of debt, but we have more then we’d like, so we are working on paying it off. It’s not terrible, but it can cause some issues in our relationship once in awhile, and it’ll just be nice not having that issue anymore. And two, my husband and I are having problems getting pregnant. We want children more then anything (and we are of course open to adoption). We do know what the problem is though, and I am currently taking medication that is helping our situation. So far, I am responding to the meds and we are positive that this year will be our year! :)
As for a positive thing for the day? I’ve recently started a part-time photography business, and it is off to a good start. Today I got my new website up and running! This is a huge step for me, and I couldn’t be more excited!
Happy day to all!
Best of luck to you with your new business! It’s nice to hear of a new business venture getting off to such a positive start.
