Happy Days

So a bunch of people on insta have been doing this challenge called '100 Happy Days' where you post a picture of something that makes you happy, every day, for one hundred days. Cool, eh? Anyway I decided to join that bandwagon in order to remind myself of all the wonderful, happy, sunshine-y things in my own life. I started day one yesterday on insta, but I believe I'm going to convert my happy day postings over here to the blog. Just for fun.

If you are not one of my instagram followers then you missed the beginning, but that's ok. I posted a hot picture of my hubby for day 1. Hopefully now you don't feel like you're in the dark or anything.

drumroll please..........................

Day 2 of my one hundred happy days: Journaling

I have been an avid, and not so avid journal keeper ever since I was the ripe age of eight. I have gone through periods where I write once every three months, and sometimes I find myself writing every single day. Either way, I love journaling because I love reading about all the wonderful memories I have made throughout my short life.

Some people journal for the sake of the posterity, I don't write so much for that as I do just for the sake of the emotional release it gives me. I find it to be relaxing and also I like to go back and laugh at the things that I write about. Like seriously, my high school journals are hysterical now. Although boy drama was very real at the time, now it's just funny. It's also pretty neat to read and see how much I have grown and changed.

Journals can also serve as reminders. Reminders of things that we believe in, and reminders of all that we have. Journals are a way to stay thankful for the opportunity we have to simply live. Neat-o.
