Things That Made Me Happy in August

Here are the things that made me happy this month:

• Starting the fall semester at school
• Finishing my probationary period at work
• Celebrating family birthdays
• Seeing the eclipse from my school campus
• Checking out my campus's space center for the first time (I love space, and science, so I don't know why it took me so long to visit the space center)
• Making a UV bracelet at my school's solar eclipse event (the beads change color in sunlight)
• Buying an Earth Ball at my campus's space center gift shop
• Seeing my niece and nephew
• Checking out a couple local festivals
• Seeing a chipmunk on my way to work one day
• Seeing a hummingbird feed at our feeder several times this month

Even when I have bad days, there is always something to be thankful for, something to be happy about. I have had way more good days than bad, and I am so very thankful for that. What made you happy this month?
