#100 Reasons for Happy

June 18, 2014

Day 18-Year 3

Team Zybko 

I wanted the free photo book for completing the cool online #100 day project thing, really I did. I just didn't want to be put in a box, forced in a certain way and to be told how to do it. Post it everyday to Face Book, to Instagram or email it in a timely manner to headquarters, yeah, I knew that wasn't gonna work out. Nobody puts Baby in the corner or in a social media box. So I played this #100 days of happy thing by my own rules. In no particular order here they are. All from my iPhone, which is probably a scary sign from a gig-ahh-bite stand point yet on the positive side, it is way easier to capture happy than you may think. I'm learning some seasons are a little dryer, not quite as bubbly, with less of a natural high cushion than others. That's ok, that's life, the ups and downs make it challenging, exciting and more appreciative of the flip side. Document your #happy today!
