I recently completed #100happydays. I wrote about how exciting it was
a little while ago. I didn't say much after that because, if I'm honest, I'm not very good at sticking to projects like this. With that in mind, you can probably imagine my delight when I finished it off last week.
A lot of people asked whether #100happydays was hard. Taking the photos wasn't difficult, the hardest part was finding something that made me 'happy' every day. Everyone has grumpy days and sometimes it can be difficult to find a positive moment every single day. Even though I thought that the gloomier days would have less than excellent photographs, I found it to be the opposite. There are very few images I could point to and say 'oh, yeah, that was a rubbish day'. Doing this project made me look back at the last 100 (108, actually, I got a bit carried away) days and see them in a whole new light.
I found it a great way to log my achievements (painting with clients at work, making bechamel sauce from scratch, trying to smoke a cigar), my favourite pieces of art work, all the foods that excited me and the mini adventure I took with the Canadian to
Toronto (or, at least, the best parts of the trip).
There are many stories and comments that accompany most of these images. If you click on each image you should get a large 'pop out' preview of it but if you want to see what's really going on in each one then visit my
instagram profile and have a gander.
I've seen many people roll the 100 happy days project into #365happydays but I think 100 was a nice concise one for me. It's made me pretty excited to find other projects to focus on other mini projects. I did the
30 days of selfie, and I've now completed this one. Each time I learn something new. Do you know of any other mini projects? Perhaps some to do with drawing or sketching. I'm so motivated right now that I want to utilise it before it disappears!
Have you tried to participate in #100happydays?
