August Happiness Challenge -- Day 6

My 2024 Happiness Icon
Today's happiness: Cat Video Fest 24
 
My friend Elaine and I leaned into the Childless Cat Lady thing and went to Cat Video Fest 2024 at The Music Box Theater. This compilation was a delight, and our admission helped raise funds for a local animal shelter.

Afterward we went to Crosby's Kitchen for dinner. As if spending time with a good friend, supporting cats in need and enjoying a good meal weren't enough happiness for one day, there's this: I was able to pay for all of it out of the beer stein on my kitchen counter. Here's the deal -- at the end of the week, I put any cash I haven't spent into that stein. Using that money keeps me from putting socializing/entertaining on my credit card.
 
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.

  4. I love this! Some of my favorite people are "childless cat ladies." I love that you leaned into it, and were able to pay for a good time with cash from your "stein savings."
