First of all, I must explain what this 'Things' is. 'Things' is a series of lists that I create and post on my personal tumblr. I started 'Things' at a low point of my life. I decided I needed to go through each day and find good things about my life, at least 4. It became a goal every day to find "things" that made me happy so I could include it in my list. 'Things' is always a list because I love lists. They get straight to the point. That is what I needed.
This project has become such an important part of my life. It forces me to appreciate the little things in my life and to notice everything. However, projects change. What became only 4 things that could be up for interpretation were replaced with things and explanations. I can now describe each day I did a 'Things'; I can see what mood I was in when I was writing a specific one.
This actually reminds me of this essay I wrote last February about writing in Notebooks. You can find it HERE.
Sometimes all you need to do is write down what makes you happy. Forcing this kind of routine is good because it pushes you to really look for the good.
Don't forget that.
Cheers,
Claire
