Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Happiness Challenge

Happiness Challenge

 

Hello everybody! So this is a thread I stumbled upon in Kitten's fantastic New Ultimate Guide. Basically, you post one thing (or more! there are no rules!) each day that makes you happy. It's very simple. ;)

Here's the first Challenge, by September:

@Lupine: that really does sound fantastic... I love fires. (Contained ones, of course!)

Mine for today is singing. It almost never fails to lift my spirits.

Congratulations on your SAT, @Quill!

I just made brownies because my friend's having a bake sale at school tomorrow to raise money for the Audobon society! They smell good but I can't eat them :( but they were still really fun to make!

Was away for the weekend, so here's for those days~

Saturday: For my wonderful, traveling family, they are seriously amazing

Sunday: For everything that makes my family happy, I really love it when I see my parents' truly joyful

Today:  I have the first meeting for my language club today, and a test that finishes off my 8th textbook chapter.  I'm excited and quite nervous.

Confetti says "dzuku." Izuku? IZUKU!

Fun fact Midoriya (his last name) means "green valley" and I think that's just so beautiful and poetic

All of you. Everyone on the Chatterbox is so nice : ) And I am talking to all of you. Every last one. You are creative, or smart, or kind, or helpful, or any number of things. I'm talking to the Chatterbox as a group, but also you individually. You bring something to the Chatterbox that nobody else can. If you don't post much or aren't one of the famous CBers? That's okay. The Chatterbox is still better because of you, and I can say with certainty that I would be sad to see any of you leave.
