Day 40

My work mates all went out to lunch at a chinese restaurant & the food just kept coming. The repercussions of a lunch break feast: 1. So stuffed you wana sleep. 2. So heavy you brake a chair. My work mate Adrian did just that

Day 37

Ok so they do not call this a challenge for nothing. I actually had to go home sick from work today. I slept for most of the day but once i was able to move & decided to go for another walk. This is what i found. Not bad considering

Day 36

It was one of those uninspired days. Was tired for most of the day but i had to go for a walk at the end of the day & find somthing i could apreciate. Then i came across this record shop & being new to the area i had not seen it before. They sold old school record albums & hAd a retro feel with a bar at the back. I definetly need to cone here for a drink on night with a friend, but right now il just have look tgrough the albums and take a photo whilst the store ladies not looking.

Day 35

It was great morning for a walk alonh the beach. As per normal my new local at St Kilda us always full of suprizes. Here was a bikini photo shoot

Day 32

Quite a few high lights today. Guy's chubby baby girl came into work. Then i had rehearsals for another Aretha gig. Then went to the Queen Victorian Night Market. Took a pic with a guy serving up paella. However the i can only choose one pic for this challenge (unless i do a collage) but the best pic of the day was the coloured big fairy lights at the markets. Seeing this really makes it feel like xmas is coming.
Im finding whilst im doing this challenge, more & more great & positive things keep coming to me. I think when your constently looking for positivity it just starts pouring out. Since i started this i feel a lot more happy with my surroundings. I love Melbourne, i love where i live & loving the people at my job & everything im doing outside of work. I would highly recommend this to anyone that needs a boost in life. Because the only way your going to be happy is if you appreciate what you have already. Great things can hapen just by being greatful

Introduction about my Challenge

well now that I'm in my 30's, sometimes it freaks me out that I ain't getting any younger, but i do have a lot of things to be grateful for. So why not capture ever day on camera for 365.
 Not everyday feels great, but that is the challenge. I want to make sure I am enjoying every single day. 
If I am sick in bed all day I will find something to be appreciative about, like the view from my window or the soup mum made for me. 
You never know what could come out of life just by being grateful. 
Then once im finished Im going to take these photos & make the perfect coffee table photo book:)
I hope that you enjoy my pics through the days.
