100 Happy Days Challenge: Day 25

I am currently 25% of the way through a challenge, and I'm going to continue the challenge here on my blog.

A while back, I came across the #100happydays challenge. Read up about it here:  http://100happydays.com

I liked the idea and was determined to participate. I didn't find it especially challenging to post about something that brought me happiness each day; for me the issue was the posting a picture of something that made me happy. The things that bring me the most happiness are often not things that can be photographed (and I don't mean because the photo will be tagged as inappropriate). My happiest moments are intangible - like the strength I get from my relationships, or moments where I feel saturated in gratitude, etc. Anyway, I fell off the boat on this challenge. But then arose a Facebook tag, and low and behold, I was tagged. The tag was a five-day challenge to list 3 positive things about your day. I enjoyed the challenge and decided to extend it and merge it with the 100 happy days challenge.

So my version of 100 happy days is this: for 100 days I will post at least three things about my day that were positive, brought me happiness, and the like. I have been posting these things as Facebook status updates (and probably driving my facebook friends crazy). Now that I started the blog though, I will post that list here and share the post on my facebook page (to ensure that I continue to drive my facebook friends nuts - this is, of course, part of being a good and responsible Facebooker).

I am on day 25 today, and here is my list:
1. Waking up next to Jeff this morning. I love this man.
2. I am 30 weeks pregnant today! How do we only have 10 weeks to go? I can't believe we're in the final quarter of this journey.
3. Breakfast with my brother this morning. I have two younger brothers -  both of whom are awesome. Curtis, the older of the two, often invites himself over for breakfast on Saturdays. It's become a norm that involves a delicious breakie, some good Uncle-Nephew time for Curtis and Carter, some good catch up chatter for the adults, and a lot of laughter. We need to get Joel, the youngest of the three of us, in on these.
