August Happiness Challenge – Day 29

 

My 2026 Happiness Icon


Today's HappinessA special day at the ballpark. I was at Wrigley Field for the Cubs' 150th birthday party and it was divine. We fans voted on the best players in franchise history and it was wonderful to see some of the lions of my girlhood back within The Friendly Confines again. Sweet Swinging Billy Williams is 88 years old, but the best left-handed hitter in Cubs history is still with us. I also got to see Greg Maddux again! For a long time, because I adopted Anthony Rizzo, Greg Maddux was my favorite most Cub. He's really retired – no endorsement or broadcast deals for him – so it was delightful to see him looking fit and mischievous. (But it was kind of startling to see him so gray.)
 
It's not a birthday party without presents. The Cubs organization gave these pins to select fans before the game. It goes with everything I own.
 

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.
