Tuesday Topics: Why I Started Blogging

I started blogging back in college when I was a junior. My midterm project that fall semester and final project was to create a blog. I created two blogs, one about my personal life and the other about restaurants in Salt Lake (I ate out all the time back then). That's how I got into blogging. That's the short answer for now. Let's fast forward four years to when I started Happy Joyful Day and here's why.

Life is full of trials and my life seems to be full of them. At the time, there were many trials happening and I could barely handle all of them. I hardly smiled and didn't count my blessings when the sun shone on my face. I knew that being so unhappy was not the way to live a fulfilling life.

I realized that I needed an outlet to remind me to find joy. That's when I came up with the name Happy Joyful Day. I came to the realization that blogging was for me and that I could write about whatever I wanted. Every day happiness and simplicity is what this blog is supposed to be all about.

For every single day is a Happy Joyful Day that is not to be wasted.
