Happiness Challenge 4.0

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Happiness Challenge 4.0

Happiness Challenge 4.0 or something along those lines

This is I believe the fourth reboot of this thread! September originally created it. The idea is to challenge yourself to post one or more things on this thread each day that make you happy--anything at all! And after a little while we'll have a wonderfully happy thread :P

Things that make me happy:

-yellow flowers

-mugs full of lattes

-sunshine
