Haptoberfest... Daily Happiness Challenge

Starting October 7, I want as many people as possible to post one thing that makes them happy. This can be a one liner, a picture, a huge paragraph of happiness. It’s been proven that focusing on happy things, makes you happier in general.

I want to tag #haptoberfest in your posts and I will follow and reblog them. We will see just how many happy thoughts we can get over the next 3+ weeks.

It takes 21 days to build a habit, so start your happy thinking habit before we head into winter and the holidays. We will stop at Halloween and see if we can make it the happiest of Halloweens.

Reblog this if you want. I want to spread the word, but I don’t want too many rules to keep up with! Also, thank you to @athletemeetstherealworld for the name idea!

Sometimes on a cold night after a long day of having your uterus trying to kill you all day, you just want some serious Mac and cheese. This is not on my diet, but today I’m ok with that.

Haptoberfest Day 7

The US Women's Gymnastics Team makes me SO happy and proud!!! 🇺🇸

These ladies killed it at the 2019 World Championships!!!!

✔ team 🥇 by a mile (w/ counting a fall)

✔ AA 🥇 (Simone is the best of all time & Suni did great as a first year senior)

✔ vault:🥇 & 🥈 (Simone again and can't wait to see more of Jade!!!)

✔ bars:🥉(so proud of Suni)

✔ beam: 🥇 (Simone of course!)

✔ floor:🥇 & 🥈(would have been 1, 2, 3 if it weren't for the 2 per country rule)

Shout out to Kara for keeping it together on beam when we needed a solid routine, Grace for gracefully taking the 2 per country rule and Mykayla for being a great cheering alternate!

With all of the HORRIBLE things that have happened around the USA gymnastics program in the last decade, I'm so happy these ladies were able to go out and succeed!!!

Haptoberfest, day 2

It's my birthday!

And I made apple galette and ate it with ice cream (M shared some of their coffee ice cream with me, too) 😋.

FMLS 90 Week 2 Day 6 10/19

Combining this today with Haptoberfest Day 13

What is one small step you can take in the next 24 hours to make 2020 better? Some examples - sign up for a race, make an appointment with a mental health professional, forgive someone. Do this and report back. 

The small step I took yesterday to make my year better made me really happy, and is related to my most important goal of getting my apartment cleaned/organized/decorated. I finally picked and ordered new decor for the bathroom.

My bathroom walls are yellow. And since I rent, there’s not much I can do about that. When I moved in, I basically ignored that and went with brown and light aqua. This time around, I’m embracing the yellow and combining it with black and white.  I went with a mostly white shower curtain (figured the lighter the better given the placement of the light fixtures) and all black bath mats and towels.

I did it. 18 miles. The longest I’ve ever run. It was hard. The weather was perfect (it’s finally feeling like fall) and I loved this run.

Ran a half today. It was fun and fast enough to make me happy without having to try too hard.
