This week I started by checking the hashtag for #100happydays and seeing the other neat posts out there. Some of them were really inspiring, one women posted that she got good news on her cancer front, I saw another one celebrating how her beloved cat was a cancer survivor! Someone shared the photos of the car accident they had just been in and were simply happy to be alive and unharmed. Even actress Emmy Rossum is doing the challenge!
It was so cool to see people around the world doing this and sharing these personal and positive moments. Some of them had such beautiful vulnerability like the ones I shared above. Others were light hearted posts about things like popcorn, seeing a friend, or making it to the top of the rock wall when they are afraid of heights.
There were so many posts that were inspiring and it was awesome to see into other's lives. Their children's accomplishments, their moments of triumph, or the simple joys they found in a day. It's powerful. I probably looked at over 1000 photos and posts, it was awesome. I contacted a few people who have posted what I felt were inspiring photos and I wanted to share them! (These have been posted with permission! Thank you to everyone who responded and took the time to talk with me! This week has been so amazing hearing people's personal stories and seeing these amazing happy moments have really touched me personally.)

Diverse Abilities Plus Photo: Day 51 of our #100happydays the lovely people over at Barclays UK in Poole have just completed putting the finishing touches to the new sensory garden in our specialist school Langside. Here are some of the kids experiencing the new sounds and smells at the official opening this afternoon.
Bradley Frassen's Photo: Day 82 of #100happydays - So I wouldn't normally make note of "half anniversaries" but as of today I haven't had a drink in exactly 2 and a half years. I can't think of a single thing that makes me happier. I have a life and a future now for that reason alone. So I celebrated by changing the clutch cable on the Yamaha with Avery.
Kim Curgenven Green: Day 38. A girl can't help but go weak at the knees at the sight of her man freely showing his children his love. Here's my hubby Eskimo kissing my girl. Mutual love and adoration. These two make my heart burst. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After talking with Kim about this photo, she shared with me the miracle of her daughter which made this photo that much more powerful to me. All children are miracles but this little girl is a special one. After 10 years of trying to have a child, IVF treatments, with all the money, energy and hope spent there was no baby. Kim and her husband had decided to accept they would not have children and changed their lives to work in the French Alps in the winter season. Then, by some miracle Kim discovered she was pregnant! At 18 weeks during a holiday in Turkey, tragedy struck. Kim began to bleed and after 6 weeks in the hospital in a foreign land, no more baby. After that heartbreak and some healing, by another miracle they were pregnant again! This time she delivered a beautiful baby girl!!
So I'd like to share my posts for the week:
