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

-paint-splattered hands

-the smell of acrylic paint

-sketchbooks

I've been painting all morning and I didn't stop until like 1:15 haha...and I'm not even done

Yess! My butterfly survived! Ok, here's mine for today:

- playing Harry Potter trivia while swimming with friends and family in the ocean

- watching dogs play 

- having a day with a perfect balance of being alone, with my family, and with friends.

I'm so happy I'm at the beach right now!!

Okay, my happy thing for the day is the feeling you get after you've finished a run and you did really good. Even though you're very tired out, you feel like you could run forever and beat the fastest person in the world in a race.
