August Happiness Challenge: Day 1

Today's happiness: An Act of Kindness

 

I started Day 1 with a smile because Nicole, the receptionist at my local yoga studio, texted me. I've missed class two weeks in a row -- a rarity for me -- and she asked if I'm OK. 

 

I can be cynical about these things and wondered if perhaps the studio wasn't worried that I had taken my mat elsewhere. But no. First of all, I don't pay for my classes; my monthly membership is a benefit of my Medicare supplement plan and they get their money automatically from the insurance company. Second, I doubt Nicole has access to that information or even cares about it. She's the one who checks us in before class, makes sure we have scented towels for the end of the class, and washes the towels and checks the restrooms between classes. 

She simply likes me and was concerned about me. Which makes me happy!

 

Happy August Happiness Challenge!

 

Each day in August you are to post about something that makes *you* happy. Pretty simple. And, it doesn't even have to be every day if you don't want it to be. It's a great way to remind ourselves that there are positive things going on in our lives, our communities, and the world.
