chrisalanjones: Decided to be part of #100HappyDays and post a photo of something - anything - that makes me happy for the next 100 days. I think it's only fitting to start with a pic of #Sammy in his stylish rain gear. My little buddy always made me happy. #day1 #100ha
chrisalanjones: Home Run Inn pizza also makes me happy. Reminds me of happy, simpler times and good memories. #100happydays #chicago #pizza #homeruninn
chrisalanjones: #100happydays Day 3: I am happy about the recent events and the end of a relationship that was no longer healthy. I am happy that I am in a better pal and that I am, at the risk of sounding cliche, taking time again to smell the flowers and experience th
chrisalanjones: Keeping a journal and writing in general have been a big part of my life for years. It's the one place I can open up about anything without fear. A blank page is like a new day - it's whatever I make it. Day 4 | 100 #100happydays #chicago #chicagonw #wri

chrisalanjones: Writing makes me happy. Brand new, still in the original packaging notebooks make me happy. Each blank page is a chance to write your own history and make changes in yourself if you don't like the story. Blank pages can be intimidating or exciting. I thin
chrisalanjones: Water tower in Delevan, Wisconsin. Road trip to Beil's bakery that used to be 3 blocks from my house and moved 90 miles north. Road trips to small towns are never a disappointment. #100happydays #roadtrip #adventure #wisconsin #mainstreetusa #travel #smal
chrisalanjones: The famous White Stag sign in Portland, Oregon. I was happy living there until I wasn't. Really happy that I'm not there now in the middle of the hottest summer in years. Also happy to be away from an unhealthy relationship that was 2 years past its expir
chrisalanjones: I noticed that I had inadvertently snapped this pocket pic at some point today when I was looking for a pic I had taken of a squirrel earlier that I wanted to post. It was an accident but instead of getting frustrated or annoyed I shrugged it off and move
chrisalanjones: I'm happy and thankful that I've had the opportunity to travel and live in several states and meet amazing people, see amazing things, and do some amazing things. #100happydays #travel #adventure #roadtrip Day 18 | 100
chrisalanjones: I always enjoy listening to an album I haven't heard in a while. It always takes me back to the memories of that time in my life. The late 90's were pretty good for me. #100happydays #comfortmusic #redhotchilipeppers #scartissue #memories #90s #1999 Day 1

chrisalanjones: I always have a plan in progress for what I want my next move to be. Tried #portland but the #pdx job market didn't love me. Time to regroup and try a bigger city with a stronger job market next time. #100happydays #seattle #travel #adventure #gypsy #plan

chrisalanjones: A Boswellia Sacra, or frankincense tree at Wadi Dokha near #Salalah #Oman. These trees are rugged and live and thrive in harsh desert conditions but still produce the highly valuable frankincense despite the environment that would kill other plant life. T

chrisalanjones: Weird to share something from such a tragic event as part of my #100happydays but it's relevant. #RobinWilliams made me laugh until I cried many, many times. He's right. Being alone is not all that bad. #RIP Mr. Williams. You will be missed. Day 26 | 100

chrisalanjones: I bought a ticket for the #countingcrows show in #pdx 6 months ago when I had no clue how crazy those next few months would be. Tonight, a lucky Stub Hub user is sitting in that seat and again the universe has foiled my plans to see Counting Crows live. W
