Happiness...

Recently a friend posted a facebook update on having celebrated the World Happiness day at school. And I wondered why anyone needed to celebrate a Happiness day! Do people not see happiness everyday? I know I have grumpy days but I choose to think that I am generally a happy chappy!

So when I saw the 100Happydays challenge I decided to sign up on it. Just the fact that we needed to collect the data of our happiness for 100 days seemed fascinating. It seems simple enough, right? 

But perhaps not.... Just the fact that it is set up as a challenge implies that it might be a tad difficult. But challenges fascinate me and I signed up. 

Like much other stuff I put this up on Facebook and in a few hours I had other friends sign up for it. I twittered and found the challenge on Twitter, so decided to tweet it myself. I went to LinkedIn and found colleagues who have signed up for it. Fascinating!

I thought about what makes me happy... and instantly the screen of my mind filled up with Neetima. I looked at the ipad screen and the time was 11:11 - Neetima's favourite time! Her voice resounded - "It's eleeeeven eleeeven...make a wish, make a wish!"

Neetima always takes a screen shot whenever she happens to see the time 11:11 on any smart screen. I did the same, and it was the start of my 100 happy days project.
