Ulog Reflections | Happiness is within reach

I spent the better part of the day outside as I did not have any meetings nor interviews that I needed to attend to. I was just soaking up more sun as I sat on a bench with my eyes closed and my face looking at it.

I could feel the warmth on my skin and positivity infuse into me. Another beautiful day to feel grateful for all the things that have happened to me in the last 24 hours.

A good deal that I have been waiting for quite some time finally pushed through and will help me in having more financial security. It is not enough for me to be able to quit my job and pursue the things that I want but it is a major step in that direction of being able to retire early.

One of my projects off the blockchain is also doing well and although I am still negotiating for their presence here in Steem. I know they will be a huge force of good both on and off the blockchain.

I am also happy to learn that they were able to finally deliver the school supplies for Banawen Primary School and I will be writing about that shortly in @giftinkindph

I am also entering the writers for Steem Monsters and have joined the Black team! I know, I know I was complaining about having too much projects in Steem and I can barely write in @giftinkindph so why am I adding another one!

Well the final phase of the Sndbox challenge has ended and I kinda miss the collaboration from that and what better way of meeting new folks and creating something and so I took the plunge and will be joining one of the biggest contest in Steem!

More than the prize money I am interested in lore building because if you don't know I am a huge geek and I have done Magic The Gathering, written some short fantasy stories and just love the genre so I feel very passionate with this one.

I have been chosen as one of the 29 out of the 50 finalist in the Sndbox challenge that is being run by @anomadsoul and @guyfawkes4-20. I never expected it but I wanted to believe that my dream was not over yet!

So for me to wake up to a prompt that I am part of the next stage just made me so happy!!

I am hoping to be able to work on this project because this is the advocacy that I have been working on since I have become a minnow.

Introducting Project Giving - The Steem Blockchain's first fully accountable NGO

I am hoping they will not say no!

Also my good friend, @derangedvisions set up his witness server and I am throwing my full support behind him because I know he is a great guy who is here for the long run. He is engaged and is doing everything he can to help the community through his contests, charitable acts and just being such a great Steemian.

If you want to check his Witness announcement click on the link below. He is well worth your vote!

So these are just some of the things that happened to be today that made me happy and grateful. All the drama and low energy I had the previous week was just a way for me to appreciate today.
