Keep thinking positive Peter.

Remember, you have to keep breaking your record of most consecutive days of waking up to see that the date changed on your watch some time during the night before.

Congrats on the first 36000.

Keep the faith and let's hope the rest will take care of itself.

Congrats on the milestone...36,000
