Like pretty much everyone else on Twitter and Instagram right now, I am doing the #100happydays challenge.

The idea is that you find one thing to be happy about every day for 100 days, and I’m finding it both easy and overwhelming at once. (1 thing a day = easy; doing something every day for 100 days = AHHRGH!) By the end of the challenge, you should be able to see what types of thing make you happier, and also be a happier person because you’ve spent the past 100 days seeking out things that make you happy. You’re also held accountable because you need to share the posts on social media, which ultimately help spread happy! All in all it’s a pretty darn sweet initiative.

I’m 13 days in today, and here are a few of the things I’ve been happy about so far:

Day 3: this sign in an art gallery window on my walk from the tube to the office.

Day 7: early morning yoga, cafe breakfast, then hanging around with mint tea and working on personal things. Today rules and it’s not even lunchtime yet.

Day 8: being treated to a box of cakes specifically so I can share them with new colleagues, because sharing is caring!

Day 9: turning the tube strike into an excuse to start the day with a healthy, life-affirming walk into work. (Or that’s what I’m telling myself!)

Day 11: inspirational messages at work. Think bigger!

Day 13: sunshine + shiny shoes
