Maybe an introductory post is in order.

Hi!  I'm unsure of how personal I want to get here, so I'll just introduce the idea behind this blog.
One day, a friend of mine said how depressing it was that his co-workers were always complaining about the bad things in life, never mentioning the good.  I felt guilty about how I had been complaining too and decided not to be that person any more.  I turned my Xanga (which previously had been a lot of complaining) into a daily "positive things" series.  Finding something good in the events of every day. I kept that up for six months or so, and then stopped for whatever reason.  Lately, I have felt that I need that positive outlook again.  This past year has been the most depressed of my life and I occasionally have suicidal thoughts.  I don't plan on acting on them, but sometimes it's hard to find the will to go on.  Enter The Bloggess with this post.  It inspired me to want to create somewhere we could share what saves us every day.  I want everyone reading this to feel free to comment with what helped them.  You don't have to be suicidal, it doesn't have to be some big epiphany about the meaning of life.  Anything that made you feel a tiny bit better is valid.
