#100HappyDays

I need to publicly acknowledge my lack of commitment to this blog/project since March. I am giving myself kudos for completing my initial 365 days as I had intended.

46 days ago I committed to the #100HappyDays challenge and have been posting to my Facebook. Although technically I am meant to post a picture for each day I haven't taken one each day so I post a status instead.

Being happy and grateful for me are one and the same!

I've decided to write this blog one week at a time instead of daily. I still acknowledge what I am grateful for daily, however I am choosing to write it here every Friday.

Sunday March 23rd:
I am grateful that there are incredible people out there who I sometimes get the privilege of talking to and guiding them to a stronger sense of self and determination.

Monday March 24th:
I am grateful that I met two really cool people on my journey from San Diego to Vancouver (that took WAY longer than it should have). We shared drinks, stories and laughs.

Tuesday March 25th:
I am grateful for time spent with Jared today. Talking. Sitting. Watching movies. Just being for a day.

Wednesday March 26th:
I am grateful for my journey through Burns Bog today. It was so beautiful and alive.

Thursday March 27th:
