#100happydays

Have y'all seen the #100happy days challenge currently making the rounds? It's a pretty simple premise: every day, for 100 days in a row, notice something that makes you happy, take a picture of it, and share. You can share via Facebook, instagram, tumblr, twitter, or by email. You have the option to limit how many people you share with by changing your settings or even your hashtag.

I know many of us are careful about what we choose to share on social media and I love this reminder that life is not a contest:

"#100happyday challenge is for you - not for anyone else.
It is not a happiness competition or a showing off contest. If you try to please / make others jealous via your pictures - you lose without even starting. Same goes for cheating."

So stop worrying about what other people might think and recognize and honor the things that make YOU happy.

I'm starting today. I'll be posting my pictures on instagram (bookkitten) and maybe here. Are you in?
