Day 4. Seven days of positivity!

Day 4 of the Positivity experiment.  and the results have been truly surprising.
It is such a simple (but difficult) thing yet, it works like magic. I am not the only one saying it. So many people have started doing this now and are all feeling great.

Here is my list of five things that made me feel good today.

 1. Ruchira of Nirjharini today wrote on my Facebook wall. She said

7 days of positivity concept is spreading like wildfire !  I have friends here on facebook or otherwise trying it out. Kudos to you for thinking it up !

2.  Her comment led to me think that a Facebook page to give it a permanent home would be nice. This is so that it can be a 'place of positivity'. Instead of just writing in my comment box, or on individual blogs, people can share their thoughts on this page. Positivity multiplies. So if you want to still keep the positivity going you can join this page. Here is the link:

7 days to Positivity

I do feel happy about creating this group :-)

3. Addy to whom I had sent a handmade card  (as he happened to be thee 300th follower of my blog ) was delighted to get it. He totally loved it and this is what he said on my Facebook wall.

The great card sits proudly on my CPU (the desk is too messed up to keep there) and there have been compliments pouring from all around.....you make awesome cards! Thanks again! :)

I felt good about this.

4. A delightful bit of news is that my very good friend Niall Young  and I have planned a meeting. He is  very likely to come over and stay with me towards the end of August. Yay! I am really really looking forward to this as much as he is. I am a HUGE fan of Niall's work. He is absolutely brilliant. I have raved about him many times on my blog. I have four of Niall's art work in my bedroom. I am one of the very very few privileged people to whom he has gifted an original picture of his and i truly treasure it. (His pictures take more than 150 hours to make as he is a Hyper-pointillist. He uses millions of tiny dots to create the most amazing pictures which are almost like photos). Apart from being an outstanding artist he is a great friend too. I feel so grateful to have him in my life.

 

5. Two of my children's best friends have come for a sleepover. They are siblings.The older one is my son's age and the girl is my daughter's. So the two sets of siblings are having a terrific time right now and the house is filled with happy sounds of children's laughter as I type this. I can't help reflecting that love and friendship knows no geographical boundaries as their friends are English, from a completely different culture, look so different from my children,  yet they are so comfortable with each other. I am grateful for having two wonderful children and doubly grateful they have such good friends.

When I started this experiment, I wasn't really sure it would work.

I am amazed that the simple act of writing down 5 things you are grateful for can make such a big difference!

Try it and you will see why I am emphasising it over and over!
