365 Days of Happy Thoughts

[Sapphira110]

Hello Pixie Pals. Happy New Year!!! 2017 was a bad year for me: If something upsetting wasn't happening at home, something scary was happening in my country or terrible around the world. I can barely think of anything good that took place last year.

I know the Pixie Forums are kinda dead-ish, but I want to put up what I consider a 'Happy Thought' everyday for the whole year starting today: January 1, 2018.(If I miss a day, it's probably because I got too busy or forgot )
Happy Thoughts will consist of positive sayings to beautiful pictures of nature to something simply adorable. Like today's:



(I'll try to find more smaller ones next time...)

This is a great idea I think! I definitely need more positivity in my life.

Thanks, Kass. I was mostly inspired to do this from a young person who commented on one of J. K. Rowling's social medias (Facebook or something...) They were really down on life, so Ms. Rowling replied back with a bunch of wonderful pictures from nature, adding that they shouldn't give up when there was so many beautiful things to see in our world. (It's an old story so I forgot some details, but the gist is there!)



Looking at the moon always makes me happy, so here's a nice picture of the full moon rising (or is it setting? I didn't take the photo, but I wish I could take a shot of something this amazing.)

This is a very wonderful idea!

Stop being like that other girl,
You're better off just being you.
Can't you feel it in your heart?
Let's look for our own ideals.
And every single memory we make
We'll snap in two and complete the set with our friends.
Make it! You're unbeatable once you get started!
Make it! Headed for a gloriously shining future!
Dreams aren't just dreams anymore,
Anyone can make theirs come true.

From a Japanese band i☆Ris song called "Make It", featured in the anime 'PriPara'. When I first read these lines I felt a bit more hopeful and wanted to share it.

Adorable unicorn. How can you not think of warm fuzzies when looking at such a cute unicorn?
