'100 Happy Days' Challenge: Days 1 - 7

Last week I came across this fun challenge that my friend is doing and thought it would be great to join in on. 

We are all guilty of letting the days pass us by without stopping to really appreciate what we have, what we're getting to do, and who we are getting to spend our time with. 

This challenge is a fun and easy way of getting you to put some thought each day into what really makes you happy, no matter how big or small the thing may be that brings you happiness and puts a smile on your face.

So, for the next 100 days I'm going to be posting one picture per day on my instagram account (creating_my_best_life) of something that has made me smile that day. See... easy! 

I will then post on here each Tuesday as part of Your Wild Life's 'Grati-Tuesday' (a fun part of her facebook page where she posts something to inspire people to remember to be grateful every Tuesday). 

Positive thoughts lead to a positive life!

I'd love you to join me in this fun challenge - head on over to the website to sign up and get all the details http://100happydays.com/

It's simple and fun! Get involved, be creative, share the happiness!

Well, can you?

'Day 1 - All rugged up and exploring with my bestie in Beijing.'
I love finding buildings like this - the architecture is incredible. 

'Day 2 - Happy that some very clever person invented thermals.
It is only getting to a high of ZERO DEGREES today!'   

'Day 3 - Nothing makes me happier than seeing other people smile.
This was the look on Scotty's face this morning when we got into our private
car to go to the Great Wall of China with a private guide (he didn't know
what I'd booked and thought we were going to be crammed in
with 10 other noisy tourists!)'
This was an incredible day that we'll never forget!!

'Day 4 - Trying something I've never done before and ordered a tea for the
first time ever while we were out meeting some people in Hong Kong tonight. It
actually tasted quite good, which is lucky since I've decided
to become a tea drinker this year.'
I don't drink tea or coffee, but have decided to give tea a try
and my good friend is going to take me on my first trip to T2!

'Day 5 - Afternoon nap at the hotel while Scotty is out
checking out the course for his race this weekend.'
Whenever Scotty is out running I always take the opportunity
to either rest or do something else for 'me'!

'Day 6 - We just decided we'll do a day trip to Macau on Tuesday which
means ticking another country off my list - sightseeing, adventure and gambling...
sounds like the perfect day to me!'
This was today and we had the most amazing time exploring. 

'Day 7 - Just purchased some sweet new kicks for Japan. These will
keep my toes nice and toasty.'
I never spend money on clothes or shoes unless it's something practical
or something I really need, so it was fun buying these shoes and
knowing they will be perfect for our trip to Japan in a few days
(and for Canada later in the year!)
