At the start of August, Always Victoria made me aware of a challenge issued by Pretty Purple Princess. The challenge was to find at least one thing every day for the month of August that made you happy and post that in your blog. I'm happy to say that I pretty much made it through the entire month of August and was able to find at least one positive thing to post about each day. Sure, some days I had more to say than others, but I enjoyed the experiment. Hats off to PPP for issuing this challenge! And to all of you who have participated and I've read your blogs over the past month, I enjoyed seeing those things that brought happiness to your life.

So, here we go one more time.

Monday: What made me happy is that it's finally here–college football season begins in full swing this weekend. Man, I'm ready.
Tuesday: The fact that I was able to find at least one thing for 31 days that made me happy. The challenge really helped at times when I needed a smile and I'm glad that challenge was issued and I took advantage of it.
