I find myself realizing I'm not a very positive person. Now hear me out. I have gratitude for many, many things but while looking for something positive to write about for this challenge I find that everything I could use the word positive in front of ends with a sarcastic ending.

This then made me go right to the dictionary hoping that the words gratitude and positive were one in the same when it came to their underlining means.

They are not as you can see below.

This challenge is 7 days long and I'm on day two......

I find myself trying hard to come up with something positive on day two! This upset me and made me start looking closer at my life. Closer to why anything that had the word positive in front of it ended sarcastically in my head.

I'm still not really sure of that answer but I'm hoping by day seven I will have figured it out and have learned a lot along the way.

I'm grateful for so many wonderful things I could go on for days but that is not what this challenge is about. It's about spreading a positive attitude through Steemit.com. To maybe touch one person who on a certain day might stumble along a post written by you and take something positive away from what they read.

It's also a challenge to yourself to look deep inside yourself to find the positive things in YOUR life.

Which is where I seem to have a major problem doing so. With that in mind let's take a look at a Bad Karaoke Contest Promo I did late last night and see if I can learn anything by that.

After watching the recordings I had made last night I realized a few things. The first one is I love to hum and always smile while doing it. Good to know! If I'm ever in a bad mood hum!! It can not hurt!

The second thing I learned as I was watching the recordings, in order of how I did them, was the more I sang the happier I got. Once again all positive things to know.

Feeling blue? Sing Karaoke in front of a camera. Okay, I don't think I need the camera on but then again why not! Look what I learned already about myself just by watching footage I was too tired to delete last night.

My Maple Tree

I then decided to go out to my Maple tree which always brings me peace to think about this whole positive issue I seem to have. While there I took some positively perfectly out of focus photos to share with everyone because it's my favorite tree.

Did you catch what happened there? Yeah, me too..... Just That kind of thing has been happening while trying to write this post. Now what to do about it?

There is a problem that needs to be fixed but it's my problem and while it's easy to see other people's problems it's harder to see yours and fix your own.

Mostly because no one like to admit they might not be perfect.

All that I have written above is all fine and dandy to have realized but as of right now it's not going to help me think of one thing for today to be positive about or is it?

I took on this challenge because I was tagged in it by my friend @inthenow. I was happy about getting the challenge because I'm loving doing the Ulogs that I learned about from @surpassinggoole last Sunday.

The more I learn about Ulogs, the story behind them, the person behind them, the more I'm so happy and YES! Positive about being a part of them just by writing them for myself.

I'm loving sharing all the great things that Ulogs and @surpassinggoogle are trying to do for so many. The positive vibes around them are making it even more fun to write each day.

I find myself looking forward to writing my Ulog because it makes me sit and really think about what is important to me on this day.

All positive things being brought into my life!

And!

Now I'm smiling and happy at least finding one positive thing that doesn't end in a sarcastic message after it!
