'100 Happy Days' Challenge: Days 92 - 100

Wow! I can't believe 100 days have been and gone! The cliche is true - time really does fly when you're having fun! 

When I started this challenge I thought it would just be a bit of fun and a good way to share some of my everyday life with my family, friends and other followers. But now that it's over and I stop and look back at some of the things that made me happy over that time, I realise how truly happy my life makes me. Even on the days when things didn't go according to plan, it was still easy to find something to smile about.

'Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day' - I love that quote! And after completing this challenge it has shown me how true it really is. 

I hope you have all been taking time each day to think about the things that make you happy or put a smile on your face. And if you haven't already, I'd highly recommend completing this challenge. It's easy, and it makes you smile and appreciate all the good things happening in your life... the perfect challenge really! 

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone that has been sharing in this challenge with me by following me on insta or reading my posts each week. It's been heaps of fun sharing the past 100 days with you all. 

And to finish up, here's a few of the things that made me happy over the final 9 days of the challenge: 



Day 92 - 'Getting paid to play pool - best job in the world!'
I love hanging out with the kids at work, they are always making me laugh.

Day 93 - 'I love spending time with my beautiful nieces! And now that Amitty is at school she gives me lots of paintings to take home when I go to visit.'
Spending quality time with family is the most important thing in the world.

Day 94 - 'Holiday starts... NOW!'
I love working in a job that gives us 12 weeks annual leave!

Day 95 - 'Packing for my holiday - these should help me relax for the next week.'
As it turned out Scotty suggested just taking one book, and he was right! I read less than half a book... 

Day 96 - 'A quick meal at the airport before boarding! Brings back great memories of all the amazing food in Japan! And yes, I got a donut for dessert!!'
This would have to be one of my favourite Japanese meals!

Day 97 - 'Getting to do my long run around Rarotonga this morning and having scenery like this to look at.'
Rarotonga had the most amazing sunrises and sunsets!

Day 98 - 'Laying flat on my back on the viewing platform where I'm staying watching the lunar eclipse and thinking about how blessed I am to live the life I do! (excuse the terrible quality of my iPhone photo).'
This was such a cool experience, and one I will never forget.

Day 99 - 'I had an amazing time tonight at the dinner and cultural show. I learnt so much about the Cook Island history and culture, ate way too much local food and danced with the performers.'
Such a fun night out with great company!

Day 100 - 'What makes me happy today, and every day... Life! Waking up every day and knowing the people I care about are healthy and happy. I have the most amazing family, the best friends anyone could ask for, I get to run every day and achieve goals I never thought possible, I get to travel the world and experience different cultures and meet new people, and I get to share every day with the one person that makes me happier than I ever thought I could be... my amazing husband, the love of my life @scott_hawker!! Choosing to make the most of every day has brought me so much happiness and has transformed my life! Here's to a lifetime of happiness, learning from the tough times, celebrating the good times, and living every day as if it's your last!!'
I only hope that by sharing my journey with you all, I can inspire others to live their best life too!
