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

~Time with my sister!

~popcorn

~That awesome local coffee place with incredibly good smoothies

~The song Master & a Hound by Gregory Alan Isakov. I can't really explain it, but this song has this crazy effect on me... maybe it does something to my perspective? Fills me with its kind of meloncholy, soulful sound? Like I said, I can't explain it, but I'm extremely glad it exists.

Being able to talk to your friends after not seeing them for a long time. Even though I sometimes get really annoyed at my friends, and I just want to get away from people and sit in a corner, they are still my friends and I miss seeing them. So I really enjoy any chance I get to talk to them right now.

YES AGREE AGREE

I had a Zoom meeting with one of my friends who I haven't talked to in a while today, and it was a little awkward but really nice.

Finding out that you're going to be able to go to the beach with your friend after all, even though you thought the tradition was going to be ruined because of covid and because the house you used to stay in was sold... But the custom lives on! I'm so happy!
