Fun story

I was on board to do all 100 Happy Days. Then that "Heartbleed" megavirus came out. And I haven't changed most of my passwords in the history of...ever. So, for once I decided that protecting my identity, privacy, security, etc really WAS important and I changed all my passwords. But then I promptly forgot all the new passwords. And in the process of trying to figure them out I locked myself out of nearly every digital site I frequently use. I STILL can't get into my old hotmail account, which truthfully was only for spam, so I'm calling it a loss. 

Anyway. The point of the story is that I've fallen woefully behind on this project. Instead of trying to play catch-up or extend the dates, I think I'm going to just blog and Instagram more of those little moments in my life that make me feel happy. 

Here are some pictures that I would have posted, if I'd had access to this blog. 

Day 43

Progress, not perfection makes me happy today. Down 2 pounds after a month of boot camp. It's progress. 

Day 42

My all-time favorite movie will be watched tonight!!

Day 41

A tasty adult beverage to take the edge off of Monday: a "Hawaiian" mule- pineapple vodka, ginger beer and lime juice. I just need a copper mug! 

Day 40

Loved sharing my morning miles with my love. 

Day 39

Healthy choices to start my weekend right. 

Day 38 (Friday)

I worked out 5 days in a row this week. 

Day 37

Looking at this art project from yesterday makes me really happy. My example piece is in the middle- we didn't guide the kids at all and they created some amazing masterpieces. I truly love my job. 

Day 36

A healthy Dinner is in the crockpot despite my level of total and complete exhaustion. 

Day 35 (Tuesday)

I ran 7.3 miles tonight. No walking. It was hard. But I did it. 

Day 34

Day 33

An entire display of Kosher for Passover foods at the commissary? Nice!!!! 

Day 32, late post

Delicious, locally made gourmet popcorn. This is just a few of their over 100 unique flavors. I wanted it all. But my 2 choices- the mint & coffee, made me happy for now. 

Day 31

Shoes, yoga mat, shower gear, etc. I love making working out a priority again. 

Day 30

Random sushi date! We took 3/4 of this home. 

Day 29

No school today, but I spent the whole day doing lesson plans and material prep. I'm feeling much more prepared for the rest of the school year. 

Day 28

Being told that the parents of my students are fighting fiercely on my behalf to find a way to keep our school open because they want me as their child's teacher. 

Day 27

I didn't take this picture, but it still makes me happy. A gorgeous sunset over my favorite bridge. 

Day 26

I'm unhappy about this dinner, but happy I forced myself to make a healthy choice tonight. Shrimp and broccoli mixed with quinoa/brown rice. 

Day 25

My weekly dose of Parenthood makes me happy. 

Day 24

No picture can show how sore I am after my first week of DumbBell Fitness Boot Camp. But I'm so happy to be making steps in the right direction again. 

Day 23

This guy loves me. 

Day 22

A great workout this morning, a nap and an afternoon spent diving. My kind of happy day.

Got a pretty new bracelet in the mail from a contest I won a few months ago. 

Day 16

Buffalo style deviled eggs are my ultimate happy after the week from hell.

Day 8

Sitting on my front porch reading, enjoying the sunshine, breeze and incredible view of the USS Missouri made me happy today. 

Day 7

Tuesday night running group and the post run food fest are happiness. 

Day 6

Owls for letter O! A thrown-together-at-the-last-minute-because-I-had-a-social-life-this-weekend-instead-of-doing-schoolwork-craft that turned out adorably. I'm quite happy with this. 

Day 5

Short treadmill run but I felt great for the first time in a week. 

Day 3

I bought my Sub Ball dress!!!!! And it is a-maz-ing!!!! 

Edit: this didn't publish on Friday like it should have. Oops. 

Day 4

No picture today. But it was a wonderful, happy day: coffee and errands together all morning, movie and dinner with friends the rest of the day. My favorite kind of day. 

Day 2

Tackling my to-do list at work felt great today. 

Day 1

Today I'm happy because I can wear basically anything I want into work. And today was a yoga pants kinda day. 

#100happydays

I'm re-invigorating my blog. It's been too long since I last posted. I decided to take part in a project called 100 Happy Days. It's basically a challenge to make time to find happiness each day and to snap a picture of it. I'll be posting my pictures (and maybe even writing about them) here so that when I'm done, I have 100 happy memories to look back on.

If you'd like to participate, more information can be found here: http://100happydays.com

Ready? Let's get happy!
