How do I contribute?
Send an email to thehappyblog@gmail.com. Your submissions will be grouped together and displayed anonymously, so, don’t worry, your happy secret is safe with me. (Feel free to “out” yourself in the comments section, though!)
Edited to add: You can now follow us on Twitter and DM (direct message) your “happies” to us there too! Follow @thehappyblog
What do I contribute?
Happy thoughts, of course! Notes of love. Notes of gratitude. Inspiring quotes (please include the author whenever possible). Tactical advice for achieving happiness. Random acts of kindness you’ve witnessed, performed or have been on the receiving end of. Warm memories. Things and/or people that make you happy on a regular basis. No joy is too big or small. Share anything that promotes happiness.
Occasionally, we’ll do themed posts too (holidays, special relationships, etc.), so keep checking back to see when we announce those.
Why should I contribute?
Because it will make you and the rest of us happy. So come on, spread a little light. It’ll come back to you 1,000-fold. Just wait and see.
When should I contribute?
Whenever you please. Contribute when you’re so happy, you can’t help but gush. Contribute when you’re sad/angry/in a funk and you need to reflect on your blessings. Contribute when you’re lonely and need to cheer yourself up. Contribute when you’re serene and want to put your special brand of tranquility into words.
How often should I contribute?
As often as you like. Happiness is contagious. So, contribute regularly. The more you spread it, the more you feel it. It’s very therapeutic. Try it.
What’s the point of all this? I mean, isn’t the world going to hell in a hand basket anyway?
Um, yeah, this blog is probably not for you. That’s a joke. Actually, this blog is ESPECIALLY for you. Cheer up and share the goodness in your life. Look deeply, it’s there. If you can’t find it, look harder. If you still can’t find it in your life then look here. There are lots of happy people in the world. Most of them aren’t rich, powerful, devastatingly gorgeous, “better off” than you or any of those superficial conditions we generally place on happiness. They’re just happy. Why? Because happiness is a choice, not a destination. See? You don’t have to look far to find happiness. Life is beautiful.
