31 Day Reset - Day 17: 100 Things That Make You Happy.

I embarked on Day 17 of the reset with excitement and vigor. I was all caught up and on the corresponding day of the month. I lay in bed and started the list and got up to #27 and keep to an abrupt halt! So abrupt and disconcerting was this stop I had to head over to Twitter and leave a message [
Who knew writing down a 100 things that make me happy would be so difficult. ]. The good news is, I am not the only one having these difficulties. JW2 also tweeted about his difficulty and later on posted on his blog, From Jay to Z where he made it up to 75 before pausing. I was eager to continue on so I read his blog and was inspired to keep going and then I slowed down again at #67 (what's with the 7s?) then I recalled that Rosetta had her list of 100 things too, so I took a look at that and was off again. I am not by any means completed with the list but I decided to move forward with the reset and just keep adding the the list as things occurred to me. I decided that Lizzy was not going to take up residence again after I'd giving her the boot, Marine Corps style. My list started off very generic but got more detailed as I went on and one word was not enough to describe the things that make me smile and bring happiness and joy to my life.
