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

Quill, I’m so glad you found a typewriter.  They are cool.  My family has collected three so far from various places.  Did you know places like Office Depot or Staples still sell new typewriter ribbons?

I just realized that I haven't posted on this thread in about a week, and that made me realize how great of a thread this is. It's really important just to take time out of your life to think about what makes you happy. So thank you for reviving this thread, Leafy!

And you're so lucky, Quill! That's so cool that you got a typewriter. I hope you enjoy it.

My happy thing for today is the smell and texture of the pages of a new notebook. There's nothing more beautiful than the smooth, fresh smelling paper. It represents freedom and new possiblities, and I just absolutely love it.

-While we're on the subject of typewriters, I recently aquired a Royal 440, and my FACIT 1620 is miniscule next to it! (The Royal is a desktop.) It certainly makes me happy!

-I'd be surprised if I haven't already put this, but my viola and clarinet

-Amethyst Dreamchaser! (She's my favorite stuffie. She says being outside makes her happy, and I agree.)

This page has brought me a lot in a personal time right now... I’m not sure I can think of anything happy at the moment, except for

- My BFFs Artic, Moony and Mirky

-My Art

-This Page.

These are the only thing givin me smiles right now and I’m so happy for every single one of them.
