August Happiness Challenge – Day 3

My 2025 Happiness Icon

Today's happiness: I treated myself and I'm still on budget. I've spent an awful lot of money lately and am trying to reverse the trend. I had $35 in my wallet this morning. Instead of just popping over to Target for the incidentals left on my shopping list, I took advantage of the not-too-hot day and walked a half mile to Dollar Tree. To celebrate my frugality, on the way home I picked up a small order of rib tips (small side of potato salad included in the $9.95 price). Even after shopping and lunch, I've still got $6 in cash! I'm not only happy and satiated, I feel downright virtuous.
 
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.
