I won't bore everyone with details on the point of this blog, as it's already in the "About the Blog" section, I'll just say a little bit about what to expect.
Every day, Matthew or I will post on something that has made us happy. Some days, we might just post a picture and a little blurb (it might even be the same picture and blurb we shared on facebook) and other days there might be a little more dialog and description to go with our happy thing that day.
If we miss a day, get on our cases! The point of this is for us to see more good in our lives by acknowledging little things every day, much like the "Count Your Blessings" mentality.
Please don't think that, because we are posting happy things, our life must be amazing and perfect. It is so far from it. We all have challenges in our lives, things that we might call negative. I'm not out to combat all negative experiences - we need them to grow! - I'm trying to combat negativity, or rather, consistently viewing experiences in a negative light, whether they're good or bad.
Our goal is to change our own thought patterns by highlighting the good in our days. In the comment section, share the good in your day too! I love hearing about others' happiness. :-)
Lastly, I'll just finish this post with my favourite two verses from the hymn, Count Your Blessings:
When upon life's billows you are tempest-tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings; name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
So amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged; God is over all.
Count your many blessings; angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.
