It's been 5 months since I first started the #happydays celebration. It was a thing I picked up from Facebook and later saw it was already done on Steemit by 
What I got out of it
MEMORIES - It was lovely having the chance to go through all of the days and see what made me happy in the past five months.
VICTORIES - It's also a testament to the hard times I went through those days...and there were some: like the flu or my anxiety fight or the shattering of my self-confidence regarding Steemit. And how I got through them.
PHOTOGRAPHS - I love the photos taken for my challenge because they will last as a reminder of how lovely we had in the first half of 2018. for years to come.
THE ENCOURAGEMENT - The encouragement I got in the form of comments and the use of the hashtag (however not deliberate it was) was also a boost for me and inspiration for some future ideas. Thank you

and
for using the tag.
THE MONEY - Drip, drip, drip. I had an average earning of under a dollar, about 0,25 SBD, sometimes more and many other times less. But when you add it up it comes down to 25 SBD or 50 USD which not so shabby. I am content.
The downsides
TO LONG - It was definitely too long. I'll keep my challenges to a month maximum and even that is a serious commitment. I was so relieved when I posted the last one. You can still vote for it here.
UNREGULARITY - I finished the 100 days in about 150 so you do the math. I wish I was more regular and committed.
SHITPOSTING - I feel many of the more serious Steemers look down on shitposting posts so when I was about halfway in I started to feel like I was spamming a bit by doing the one-picture-posts.
ADVERTISEMENT - I am definitely determent to create a challenge that will spread like a kindergarten virosis. Someday. And I will be sure to engage others through Discord. I see what I got wrong this time both with substance and visuals of the challenge so I'll put it down in my long-term Steemit related plans.
MISTAKES - I was sloppy at times. I usually did the #happydays post from my bed, half asleep so many mistakes happen: I would misspell stuff, I'd written the wrong number, put the wrong picture in or no picture at all and so on. It wasn't something I'm proud of.

The first time my then 6yo went to the market alone.
It reminded me of all the adventures we went on...
