The Happy Challenge

This particular challenge has been making the rounds on Facebook lately. The idea is to find something happy about every day for 100 days in a row. On the site, it says that 71% of the participants failed the challenge, citing lack of time. Wow. That's definitely telling about our society when it's impossible to find one happy thing in a day.

While the challenge is taking a quick photo about the "happy" thing in your day, I think the bigger problem is that lots of us fail to even note a happy thing while we go about our days. I don't think a photo is a necessity here. Just jotting a word or sentence down on a pocket notebook would suffice. In fact, I know that I have happy moments that I have no photos for, simply because I'm actually trying to enjoy the moment than record the moment.

I don't know if I'll actually sign up for the challenge, but I do want to start noting a happy thing/event in my day. In fact, I'll note one happy thing (although there are several) for today: 2-scoop sundaes at Baskin Robbins! :-)
