August Happiness Challenge -- Day 23

 Today's happiness: AAdvantage E-Shopping

My 2024 Happiness Icon

I love to earn extra miles. Especially since my annual spring flights from ORD to LAX are loooong and expensive. Saving on airfare and/or getting an upgrade does this old miles whore's heart good.

Which is why I'm tickled to have discovered AAdvantage E-Shopping. I get up to 3x the miles on stuff I'd buy anyway! When I'm done with this post, I'm going to order Icy Hot patches from Walgreen's. Who knew buying something that utilitarian would make me this happy? (Sing it with me: California, here I come!)

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.

 

August Happiness Challenge -- Day 22

 Today's happiness: A box of cards

At my suggestion, the employees at card shop where I work agreed to create birthday cards (and get a headstart on Christmas cards) to include in the lunch deliveries for our local "meals on wheels." I got the idea from Letters Against Isolation. Ceecee, my boss, likes it that we are concentrating our efforts to our neighborhood. 

Thursday I discovered a shoebox under the counter filled with beautiful, handmade cards! The women I work with are so talented and willing to pitch in during the shop's slow times. It's good for business, too. When customers come in and see us making stickers or embossing, it promotes the crafting tools we sell. No wonder I came home happy.

August Happiness Challenge -- Day 21

Today's happiness: My City

As I'm sure you've heard, Chicago played host to a get together at the United Center. I couldn't be more proud. Not only of Harris-Walz, not only of our very own Barack and Michelle, but of how beautiful and hospitable my city looked. It is the best place to live, you know. I'm glad the rest of America is now in on it.
