August Happiness Challenge -- Day 20

Today's happiness: This face!

My beloved Anthony Rizzo has not been in a game since mid-June and I have missed him so much! He is recovering from a fractured arm, he's not a kid anymore, and these things take time. I understand. But he spent his 35th birthday on the IL. Yes, he celebrated like he always has done -- sharing joy with pediatric cancer patients.* I've always loved how Rizz gives back. But this! This! Yesterday he was in the cage, taking batting practice!

I've been watching him since 2012. I know what this look means. He feels good and he's happy to be swinging a bat again. He may not be ready when the Yankees come to Wrigley Field to play the Cubs and while that is so very unfair, looking at this look still makes me very, very 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.

 *If that clip doesn't make you happy, you have no soul. Just sayin'.
