Happiness Happens Day is August 8, 2016
In 1999 when the Secret Society of Happy People proclaimed August 8 as the first “Admit You’re Happy Day”, now called Happiness Happens Day, I really didn’t think 18 years later we’d still be celebrating, much less that it would grow to a month long celebration! Since I didn’t know how to make it an official celebration we requested proclamations from governors that were in office in 1999.
Today the celebration is a little more low key. We like to toast with pink lemonade or your other favorite beverage. Or if you want to cook, we link to a few pink lemonade recipes here.
In keeping with this year’s theme, #ISeeHappy when I see pink lemonade toasts. Please post your selfies with the #ISeeHappy hashtag on your social media sites and you might get a gift from us.
Join Our “I See Happy” Facebook Group!
We want to know what makes you happy when you see it. And we want you to post it on all of your social media sites with the hashtag #ISeeHappy ~ we even created an I See Happy Facebook Group so you can connect with other happy people and post your #ISeeHappy selfies.

She's also a speaker, trainer, and author.

When I see other people who are happy I usually feel happier too?
