The Glass Half-Full

I happen to be the type of a person who sees the glass as half-empty. I've tried many times to be the half-full, but I told myself why build myself up for disappointment?
However, that shouldn't be the case. Hope is the one thing that gives people the strength to go beyond what they dreamed of. To think outside the box. And it's not just that, I think my entire mindset has to change. It has been slowly changing, I think I've become a slightly more positive person (fingers crossed) than what I used to be a year ago. 
And so I want to start this so that I continue to be happy and remind myself everyday that I have something to be grateful for. A reminder that the glass is half-full.
This is my personal journey. This is not to say that I won't write like I usually do. I will, but those will be additional posts. 
I will write everyday. I will write about something that makes me happy or something I am grateful for.
This, hopefully will open my eyes to the amount of things that make me happy. The small things that we tend to forget.
So I'm not asking you to do the same thing. But I do hope that you continue on this journey of mine, and once in a while take the time out to look at what makes you smile :)
