Spreading Happiness through Creating Cards and Blogging: A Positive Journey

A search of holidays led me to Happiness Happens month (August) and the Happiness Happens Day Aug 8^th.   That led me to the story behind  the holiday and once again searching the internet…

Heard of the expression ‘don’t rain on my parade’?  A group of people 25 years ago got together simply to share their happiness. They were tired of being ‘rained on’. From that humble start a movement started that we get to celebrate all month long!

I consider myself a happy person.  As a kid I came up with the idea if I had one wish it would be to be happy.  I thought then I’d do what I wanted and always be healthy. One wish and everything is covered. 

I’ve learned so much with the passing of time, but I still want to be happy.  How about you? I found 2 different sites on-line that listed 14 things that bring happiness. Digging deeper I found articles listing 23 to 50 ideas. Plenty of resources to give you suggestions if you feel the need. I read two of the 14 idea lists and found some variety. Most of the things on the lists I’m already doing.

I’m fortunate to be in a position where I can craft cards and now write a blog.  Two things that make me happy. It started with card making decades ago.  I enjoyed a handmade card so much I decided to try making one myself.  I’ve been hooked ever since. I believe in the power of positive words. I started this blog to spread the word of my cards availability and happy news. To visit my Etsy shop, click PaperCraftedBliss – Etsy If you’re on Facebook look for and follow Paper Crafted Bliss.
