One Day At A Time....

Hey,
   My name is Daniela, however ever since I was 5 years old everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, has called me DG haha (long story maybe someday you'll hear it). So Im starting this blog because I decided to start, I wouldn't call it a challenge though somedays I'm sure it will be.
Basically I was getting really tired of all the negative and at many times depressing stuff people were posting on facebook. FML this and FML that and everyday just seems to be the "worst day ever". Now im not trying to be insensitive because I mean WE ALL have bad days and we all have little hells in our lives that we have to deal with and I think it's good to vent and get it out you know. However, I dont think it's ok to insist that there is nothing good in your life and it's not ok to ignore all the blessings in our lives so I decided that this year I will post one thing I am thankful for each day and explain why. I got this idea from a high school teacher I once had only her's was "wake up and say 10 things you are thankful for" but that way you just list them and this way I feel each thing im thankful for can get a full tribute haha.
The challenge will be that I am normal and I have bad days and my life is far from perfect, but even on those "worst day ever" type of days I will write about one thing I am thankful for becasue the point is not "life is always fantastic!" the point is life is hard, it has it's ups and downs, there's good, there's bad, there's ugly and trust me, TRUST ME I know how bad it can get but even when its at it's worst there is still beauty in it, you just have to challenge yourself to find it.
Im actually starting a Mind Body Soul challenge in my life, where everyday I do something for my Mind-try hard in school, read a book, do homework etc. Something for my Body-eat right, exercise etc, and somehting for my Soul-pray, be thankful, be nice etc. Actually someone who I trust a lot, and value their advice gave me this idea for better balance in my life (Deacon Scott lol). Maybe somedays I'll write what I did for all 3 but this blog is mostly to make sure I aknowledge the blessing in this life. My hope is that someone will read this and remember what they are thankful for as well and realize that life in all its glory and failure...is always beautiful.
