I doubt that any of us can! However it is so important, I feel, for us to always try and find the positive in our day, even on the hardest and toughest of days! So I thought it would be good to join the many friends who are taking up the #100HappyDays Challenge. It can be too easy to get caught up in our busy lives. And when you have suffered great loss, whether that be your health, your job, a loved one or your baby, it can be so incredibly difficult to see the positive in anything anymore. The days and hours just meld in to one long period of misery and heart ache.
So as an aid to help us focus on the positives in our lives, to find that moment of happiness that CAN be found in every single day .... yes, trust me, even in the days when it feels like your world has completely ended ... thousands of us have registered for the #100HappyDays Challenge.
It's easy! Once we have registered, all we do is once a day upload a picture of what has made us happy that day. It can be anything from having a cuppa with a pal to that first coffee of the day, from that feeling of being in a special place to helping out someone in need.
The challenge is for YOU and you alone ~ it is not a platform for showing everyone how wonderful your life is ~ it is not a competition to prove that you are happier than everyone around you ~ it is not a means to make others jealous or to show off. It is simply a means for you to fully focus on what you can see in your life, your day, your world that makes you happy.
You can choose to share your photo on Facebook, twitter or instagram ~ just make sure you add the public hashtag #100HappyDays.
So, though this is not related to SiMBA and the work we do in the Highlands, it very much follows the ethos of SiMBA ~ #100HappyDays collects 100 day's worth of beautiful, lasting memories just as SiMBA enables us to gather treasured memories of our baby's short time here on earth ~ memories that will sustain us and uplift us through a life time of loss.
So ... who will join me?
