Day seven - One week down

So one week has passed since I started this. Only one week and this has already changed how I look at things day to day.
As days go buy it is really easy to, at the end of the day, stack up all the crap that happened throughout the day and classify that as "the day". Little things begin to look like bigger things and the big things become overwhelming. Some parts of my life had not been great for awhile now, others have been great, I just have not been taking the time to look at the finer parts of life. Instead, as in true AJ Johnson fashion, I dwell. I have not only turned it into a hobby, but a fine art! I can make things that are " no big thang" into something.
For example, I did it to myself two days ago. I had an issue at work, I take that back, it was not an issue, I made it an issue in my head. A contract I was working on had a hiccup. My manager smoothed it out quickly. I was appalled with myself that I potentially lost a client, found where the issue was, and tried to explain myself to my manager as to show what had gone awry. My manager looked at me after I was all done and just said "don't worry about it, it is taken care of, just get out there and do your thing". Think I let it go........ Not a frick'n chance! I dwelled. I would not let it out of my mind, kept going over how I might have really screwed something up.
I tell you that, to tell you this. When I come home and write this, it all goes away! Not only does it go away, but it really makes me take the time to look at the good in the day. That was the same day I had two contracts signed. That is what I thought about, that is what I had to put my focus on because I knew that I had this to write that night. My dwelling, all of a sudden, was a lot less than it has EVER been in my life.
In one week this has changed how my day to day works. At first it was "I have to find something good to write about tonight" and in just a few short days I was seeing the good and could not wait to write about it that night. In one week this has already changed how I look at how my days pan out, I see the good more often, I can see how things are better than I instinctively try to make them out to be, and I feel happier now than I have in a while. I am starting to feel like I did a few years ago, and I love it. I thank god that I have started this and you can expect a lot more, at least 358 days worth ;)
Tomorrow......
