    I try to get at least 7 hours of sleep every night, and I would like to eventually get a lot more time than I currently do.  The more sleep I have, the happier I am.

    Practicing gratitude allows me to keep centered because I am able to realize how many great opportunities and blessings that are a part of my life and inspires me to give back to my community and be the part of someones day that they are grateful for.

    My challenges has been going great.  I have been able to use the happiness challenge to make me realize and appreciate all that I have, and how many amazing opportunities and privileges I have.  More sleep always makes me happier, and I have been buying less unneeded wasteful products.
