100 Happy Days Challenge

I took part in the 100 Happy Days challenge on Instagram, where you post a picture of one thing a day that's made you smile, for (you guessed it) 100 days! Although I wasn't the best at it (there'd be days where I wouldn't post because I'd simply forget to!), I really enjoyed the challenge and now have little snaps of what's made me happy over the last few months! I've also discovered that almost 50% of what made me happy was food/drink... So here they are for you, my 100 Happy Days!


 1) The Wolf of Wall Street - Leo. 'Nuff said! 2) You can never go wrong with some Thorntons chocolate! 3) Me and the girls took our housemate for dinner at Zizzis for her birthday! 4) Followed by a later birthday meal at Prezzo with the boyfriend.

100 Happy Days

I saw something on Facebook the other day that caught my interest, a new social networking challenge, encouraging the participants to post a picture every day for 100 days, of one thing that has made them happy. It can be anything as trivial as a chocolate bar, or something with a little more depth, like a romantic meal with your significant other, or a family holiday. Literally anything that makes you smile.

I'm the kind of person that leads a fairly content life. There's nothing specifically wrong with my life, in fact, right now, there's nothing wrong at all. But even though I know nothing's wrong, I'll find myself getting upset over the smallest, insignificant things. Things that haven't even happened. Sometimes my imagination gets the better of me, and I imagine situations in my head that cause me to burst into unnecessary tears, or stress myself out (I'm such a female, I know!). 

So when I saw this challenge, I figured that by posting a picture a day of the good things going on in my life, it will allow my brain to stop making up these stupid scenarios, and focus on being happy. 

I'll be posting my pictures on Instagram (kathryne_xoxo) using the hashtag, #100happydays. To sign up, go to 100 Happy Days and join in!  If you decide to participate, feel free to link whatever social media platform you choose to post it on in the comments section! I'd love to see how you do, too!
