365 Fun New Things To Try Part 1: Warm Fuzzies Await

Many years ago I had a grand idea, I would make a list of 365 fun new things to try and do one each day.  I got inspired and I brainstormed a list of all these cool things to do and I created a blog to document my journey. But then life got in the way or I let life get in the way and it slowly died down. I wasn’t too realistic on time frame that some of these new things would obviously take more than a day to complete. The new things I did try sparked a little piece of happiness into my life. I felt great when I took that little step out of my comfort zone and just tried something new. Yup, I did get warm fuzzies inside.

Now with MeFindingHappiness, I think it is a perfect fit to share the list and inspire others of all the fun new things out there to do. Some are big actions while others are little actions you can take to find a happier life. My hope is that I can start crossing some of these items off myself and share some fun, insights, and inspiring stories along the way.
