August Happiness Challenge 2010: Day 1

Thanks to The Gal Herself @ One Gal's Musings for this awesome idea!

Here's a brief explanation of the Challenge: "Each day in August you are to post about something that makes you happy. Pretty simple. And, it doesn't even have to be every day if you don't want it to be. It's a great way to remind ourselves that there are positive things going on in our lives, our communities, and the world."

So, for the 31 days of August I will be making one post per day about something that makes me happy. It might be something random or it might be something that happens that day. I'm hoping that I can keep this blog going long enough that when August 2011 rolls around, I can participate in this again as well as compare the entries I make to the previous years.

I would love to know if you've decided to do this as well, so make sure to comment if you decide to play along.

Today's happiness factor is: Music. Music makes me happy for several reasons. I tend to associate songs with certain time periods of my life, certain days or sometimes a specific day or memory. I could be having an off day, hear a song that triggers a memory and you will see the biggest smile spread across my face. Music is my therapy :)
