It’s Christmas Eve. I’m writing this at 6 am, under a red and brown plaid patterned blanket, under the golden glow of Christmas tree lights while Swamp Thing plays in the background and my puppy sleeps in my lap. All in all, not a bad way to start the day, though I really should get up and exercise. It’s hard to find that motivation with the heat on and outside has a feels like temp of -18, but I’ll manage. First, it’s day 3 of 500.

And we’re off! I’ve officially maintained a two day streak, which is 1 more than my previous record of, well, 1.

It's day 2, and I'm honestly already noticing some positive effects on my day by doing this.

I’m no expert in happiness.

I’m no expert in writing or podcasting either.

Anything I do write is usually an excited rambling on nature, wildlife, or some other science-y topic, as well as the occasional long and opinionated Facebook post on some sociopolitical issue or current event when I need to vent my frustrations with the world at-large (yes, I’m one of those people [it’s okay, I hate me too]).

Yet despite all of that, I’m doing this.

For the next 500 (week) days

It's day 1 of 500, and I decided to break down what's left of my life and how I use that time.
