Tomorrow we pick up a house guest from the airport. She is going to be here with us for 11 days!! I dont know what I will do with myself... It sounds a bit extreme to me. This is my sister inlaw, she is actually awesome and Im looking forward to it.
Yesterday was a dive, and I know that isnt positive but it is the truth. I guess I should be grateful that I see my faults that I see how depressed I am. I dont just sit around blaming others, or blaming the world. I know it is going on in my head, it only exists inside of me. I know that I can push through this, and thankful that I can understand my mind, I am sure that it is also my greatest enemy.
Im aware of my thoughts and that is good, I know that I will push through them. I am thankful for my perspective, I know that I need to improve, I know that it is not anyones fault but my own. I understand what I am doing wrong, I know what I need to improve and I know that I can do it.
I am thankful that I can push through doubt and uncertainty
I am thankful for having perspective.
I am thankful that I do not blame others and take responsibility for my actions.

A week or more?
I have been making these daily posts for a week or more now. Im not sure, I haven't went back to count the days. To be honest, Im not sure what I am going to post today...it needs to be new, it needs to be something that I am thankful for.
Im just not thankful today, I cannot get positive, I cannot get motivated...I cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. All of these negative things tell me that I cannot, they tell me that I shouldn't, and they tell me to give up.
Im sick of it, I must push through negative things, I must always be on the look out for positive things, that is what changes me, it is what drives me and it is what makes me successful in everything that I do.
Today I am thankful for my awareness. I am glad that I can be aware when I am repeating my mistakes... I am glad that I can see the truth of things in many different ways.
Im am thankful for my ability to break out of this negative spike and become who I am and who I am suppose to be.
I am thankful for my support network, friends and family, they are a lot of my motivation and the reason that I will be a success.

Its working!
I think that this is my seventh day of this process and I can tell that it is working. I look around and I see what I am thankful for, I am constantly going over it in my mind. I find myself telling people thanks, and telling people how awesome they are more often.
The woman that handled the claim for the insurance was incredibly nice, I got that processed this morning. Yesterday I did the police report, standing around at the police station for hours...Im glad that was processed. I feel bad for the person that hit us and drove off, they have really complicated things for themselves. Im thankful for those around me, we went to a Christmas party Saturday night and it was awesome, friends and good times. Im so glad that I have good friends that provide a great support system.
Im thankful for this process of changing the lens that we view success. It really seems to make a difference, I feel good, I feel positive and I know that it just gets better!!!!!!!

Hit and run
What a great time to be thankful, last night we were in a mild card accident, I was hit in a parking lot, did some damage to the drivers side door and the person drove off. Thankfully I was able to get the licence number, and we have full coverage insurance. Im sure that this will be taken care of promptly and without much hassle. My wife has been with the same insurance company for 10 or more years so the rates are low and the coverage is good.
I am thankful for insurance, wifes solid stances with one company, awareness of the situation allowing me to get the licence number. . . Very thankful that it wasn't serious and that no one was hurt since our child was in the car with us.

the wall
So now it is day six and maybe I have hit a wall. Im not sure what Im thankful for today, I need three things and they need to be new...
My education and knowledge, I never finished high school, never took an SAT, never did much in college... but I took some MSCE classes, some A+, I have read some books and applied myself a lot. I understand marketing metrics, PPC, SEO, html, I know some css, wordpress, I can do anything that I apply myself to. I have the ability to learn and the desire to further educate myself.
Im thankful for tonight, we are going to a Christmas party, we are going to drink, smoke, and probably talk about the ins and outs of being parents. My brother in law and his woman are coming over to put the baby to sleep tonight so that is really cool and positive.
This week I have made serious progress with work, I have seen things that I have not seen before and I know that I just keep grinding that I will be on my way...I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

three things
So I watched the Shawn Achor video again, he says that you need to focus on three new things a day for 21 days that you are grateful for. so I have a lot of work to do tomorrow.
What is important here is that you start living in the now and you begin looking for things that you are grateful for and you begin to feel successful, you do not feel as if you are trying to reach success.

Friends
I woke up today with an email in my inbox it was for an ebay auction with an old nickelodeon guitar player. Really cool! I love music and how creative people can be with instruments. My friend knows this, so he sent me the auction, after that I found him on chat and we talked about music, Holidays all of that good stuff.
Damn, I have some good friends, some of my best friends I have known 10+ years, some go back more than 30 years! Lots of good times, adventures, all of that, friends really shine in my life. They are there when Im in need, or when Im not in need. I have never had a lot of friends, but I have always had good friends that were worth their weight in gold.
I should talk to some of my friends more often, thats for sure, and I know that I need to spend more time with them. I make excuses for working when I shouldnt. Work is important, but so is living.
