#100happydays

Have you guys seen the hashtag #100happydays floating around. I don't know how long this has been around, but when I saw it I jumped on board. There is an official website, but there is no reason to sign up for it at all.

I have been pretty busy lately for obvious reasons with one small thing that is really quite a big thing.  Of course I still have my other two not-quite-so small things to worry about.  My days seem to be a revolving door of nursing sessions and car pool.  Just for fun outings are at a minimum and it is easy for me to fall into the trap of greeting the day with a grimace instead of a smile.  This is not good for anyone in my family, especially me.

Just deciding to take on this project was uplifting.  I have a simple goal each day, to be happy.  When I feel my mind begin to fill with irritations (traffic, lack of sleep, etc) I try to take a step back and re-focus on being happy.  It's not foolproof.  I still have my bad moments, but it has helped.  A lot.

Some of the moments are photographable, some are not.  I do share a photo almost daily on instagram.   My username is Nirupama01, and you can follow along with my little journey here if you are interested (and yes, I follow back!) I edit my photos directly on my phone and am working on a post about my favorite iphone apps for photography and project life as well.

I like the themes that keep coming up.  My babies. Springtime. Cupcakes. Coffee. There was even a night out in there.

Our evening walks. Yoga.  Flowers. Crafts. Talks with friends. More coffee.

What is making you happy these days?
