I got this idea from The Happiness Project, and I really like it, mainly because every time I’ve started keeping a true journal/diary I end up giving up within a few weeks, but this seems so much simpler. I like the idea of posting one sentence about something that inspired me or made me happy that day, even if it was something small. I’m so focused on the big picture and the future that often I forget to slow down and appreciate the little things that make life worthwhile, so hopefully this will help. 

Wednesday, November 23rd: I’m savoring the last Thanksgiving break I’ll ever have before going to college next year and everything changes—and while I don’t have any big plans, I have a good book and a quiet house, all I really need.
