Some of you may have been participating in or reading others’ posts in the “100 Happy Days” project that is circulating social media lately.

Although I’ve been following others for weeks, I wasn’t inspired until today to act on it, and interestingly it was because I was inspired to “not do” the particular project, but instead to put my own flavor on things.

Rather than post things each day that make me happy, I’m going to keep mine (ever so slightly) more personal. Partly because I don’t want to flood the twitter or status update feeds of others, partly because I want to be a bit more spontaneous and flexible with my sharing.

So, off I begin on a journey. Not for 100 days, because I don’t want to choose a time limit at this time. For as long as I feel like, I will share something each day with friends, family, coworkers, or the blog/social media world. It might be a text, a phone call, a song, a drawing, a photo, a gift…

Each day I am committing to spending 5 minutes or more reflecting on something that gives me happiness or great peace and contentment. Even the crappiest of rainy mondays, I will do this.

I invite my readers (aka my mom) to join me in whatever way that fits their fancy. For no particular reason, I’m calling this little venture, “slap happy.” (Except on the weekends, where it may or may not progress to “punch drunk. ”

Consider yourselves all slapped. 😉

Happy times,

Meri
