Welcome!     My name is Cristina Campanella and I started blogging  to help express my gratitude towards everything around me. I have found that life gets better and better the more I think about people, places, things, actions, abilities, thoughts, feelings and when I feel grateful for them in my life.  I want to be happy. Most often, I believe, I am. Sometimes I'm not. I'd say this makes me somewhat normal -- and incredibly fortunate. Not everyone can say that they're happy more often than not. I can. Not surprisingly, I have some bad days. Everyone does. Sometimes I have several difficult days consecutively. Those can be trying times, but fortunately, that is a fairly rare occurrence in my life. Most of the time, I feel pretty good about life, and in recent years, I've made a conscientious effort to focus on my sense of gratitide for that reality. It helps. It's difficult to be grateful and unhappy at the same time.

With all of this being said, I invite you to join my journey of happiness, sadness, ups and downs, and just maybe... you will take one thing away from it. What that will be, I have no idea  but feel free to share it with me. I would love to hear.
