Three things that made you happy today

Takes2long

Simple rules:
1) It has to be something that made YOU happy, not someone else.

2) It can't be "backhanded" happy, such as you didn't get hit by a bus. Stick to reality. Not getting attacked by zombies doesn't count, either.

I started this with my daughter because she would leave me notes when i would tuck her into bed at night. They started out as simple notes, but quickly turned into all the things that made her mad. So, I suggested we start a book, and we would have to write 3 things that made us happy that day. Sometimes it's easy. Sometimes, I stare at the page and I'm blank.

Some examples...my daughter was happy I scratched her back. I was happy because my kickboxing class was really fun. LOL...on the weekends, my happy is being able to sleep in.

Just wondering if anyone else can think of 3 things that made tham happy today. Try it everyday. It'll will change your outlook on a lot of things!

Today, I was happy that 1) I finally got to make homemade sausage and it was REALLY good :-) 2). I got in a really good workout at home! (I don't normally workout at home) 3). I put on my favorite pair of jeans, out of the dryer, and they seemed to not be quite as tight :bigsmile:
