Happy Day Challenge

The question: Can you be happy for 100 days in a row? I'm ashamed to admit that I don't know the answer to that. I mean, I want to give a definitive YES (with jazz hands!!) but if my past state of mind is any indication, probably not. I feel way more in tune with Grumpy Cat these days. I've noticed that I have the tendency to think about happiness in terms of WHEN as opposed to NOW. You know, the ole I'll be happier when I lose 10 pounds or when I get my life in order or when the children are older... By thinking that way I completely ignore the moment I am living in in favor of the hope of future happiness. Ludicrous, I know. But true. Very, very true. I clearly need to retrain my brain.
