Final Month of #100HappyDays

I did it yes!!!!!!!!!!

Feels wonderful just to say it out again. It's one of those liberating feelings which gives you a high like you have never felt before. It’s a feeling of elation, joy and pure bliss.

It took massive courage and strength but I was able to stay Happy for 100 days straight. Sounds easy right and you might just be thinking “Ha! I can do it, not so tough” but it is. It actually is. There were days when I struggled and thought of quitting, when I was depressed beyond control, when you feel like giving up on life. A friend of mine who started the challenge after me quit, my sister almost quit but we made her follow it through, irregular that she is, hopefully she completes it. 

Lessons learnt – many. I learnt to appreciate everything, forgot how to feel happy and blessed for the little things around me. Everyone who made sure that I get my happy moment of the day, constant reminders so that I won't forget and drop the challenge. How in panic I called a dear friend and told her I didn't have a single happy moment, she came to the rescue even if it was chai and Maggie at her place..totally rocked it.

I realized that there were some friends I had not met in a 100 days straight. Gonna meet them soon. I realized who actually made my days blissful. How on last day to make it fabulous, organized surprises. How it gave me strength to sail right through some one my worst days and how I wanna be better, live better and love better.I know how much I mean to people and how much certain people mean to me. How I discovered some new people and their thought process. It's proved that happiness does ensure a positive environment.

Made me realize how demented and crazy my family and friends are.How I don't have a single happy moment but so many happy moments. It's exciting this, to wake up every morning in anticipation of what will be that moment. I learned to let go of the things that made me sad and inspired me to change the things I don't like in myself. I wanna pick up the things and projects I left in between. Got off social media and actually could sleep well that night. 

So here goes my final month of realizing how lucky I am.

OMG we are crazy...had so much fun with my cousins, first visit after mum returned. best part was giving gifts which they all loved *my choice :p* . Then we went out to try this amazing maggie place near their place (which was lip smacking, making mad crazy paneer tikka maggie with oreo shake) *drools* while there was puja happening at my cousins home. Masti time during car ride, insane twitter conversation and jokes all around.

OMG ppl are funny...such a funny fwd that we died laughing...literally and funny sayings on the vehicles in India..haha so much fun

Well writing brings me peace. There is some contentment in the fact that you can express what you are feeling. Even the harshest of experiences of life turn into some powerful words which just empty your brain and give your heart a rest. Such power you feel that it invigorates you.

Friendship is that even if you go out to lunch you still get goodies for your friends. That's what my pal did, she bought me yummy food :D Tummy was very happy and heart even happier :)

Winning streak (won like 5 games) , funny conversations with frnds and purple tongue contest by an overdoz of Jamun lol

Gosh the last day!!!!! 100th day...began with congrats from family. When I reached office got flowers and a collage with motivational words, followed by amazing breakfast of junk food lol..Lunch was awesome..these gals had got a cake and we all celebrated being happy...what an amazing feeling. Awesome hairstyle trials on me and then evening party with the gang. The best part office ppl thought there is some "good news" hahaha sooo funny. Came back home all happy and high and started my guitar lessons...yes I did and got off twitter....man amazing 100 days

The best part about these day, there were some incidents which I would not have been able to digest t if it was not for these days. So I guess am thankful and happy that I began the challenge at the right time. I need to work more towards letting go..that too shall happen!

All I can say is that it does take a conscious effort to be happy, to remain happy. There are so many things in this world to be sad about.  It takes time and energy and loads of motivation. Keep in mind the following mantra -"This too shall pass" and just live your life.

There are so many people who will hurt you.But there are more who are willing to make you happy. Choose them. Choose your happiness!!
