Happiness Happens Day 2015 takes place on Saturday, August 8th. The Secret Society of Happy People provides inexpensive, family friendly activities that ultimately contribute to one’s authentic happiness.

17 years ago, the Secret Society of Happy People hosted the first annual Happiness Happens Day. Now, after 16 years of celebrating happiness during the month of August, the Society invites everyone to keep the tradition going. For these 16 years, Happiness Happens Day has been part of Happiness Happens Month. August 1 marked the start of the month, and kicked off this year’s theme: a 31 Day Challenge. With daily objectives ranging from “Sing out loud” to “Compliment 3 people,” the goal is to enhance happiness each day this August. All challenges are family friendly and either free or inexpensive.

The challenge for August 8th is both of those things. The Society invites participants to toast the day with sparkling lemonade – or their favorite beverage – and capture the moment with a picture using hashtags #HHD2015 and #HHM2015 to celebrate this year’s Happiness Happens Day festivities via their favorite Social Media sites.

“We now have nearly 1,600 people joining in the celebration this year, and we’re so excited to see everyone toasting to happiness on August 8th,” says Pamela Gail Johnson, Founder of The Secret Society of Happy People.

“This day is special to everyone in the Society, because it truly is what kicked everything off. It is the perfect challenge to celebrate your past, present, and future. To toast on Happiness Happens Day is to raise a glass to happiness in August, in 2015, and in the months and years to come.”

The Secret Society of Happy People started celebrating happiness with “Admit You’re Happy Day” on August 8th, 1999. Members wanted to let the happy feeling linger a little longer, so, in 2000, the Society expanded the celebration to the entire month of August. Now, August 8th still marks the annual Happiness Happens Day. With August 8th a few days away, for anyone wishing to participate there still is time to sign up and join participants across the country in a toast to happiness

“Anyone accepting the challenge should share it with their friends, post pictures, and spread the word however they can in order to make as many people happy as possible,” said Johnson. “Also, while we do propose a challenge for each day, every participant should always feel welcome to modify it in order to accommodate their schedule.”

To sign up for the daily activities email during the Happiness Happens Month, go to http://site.sohp.com/happiness-happens-month-2015/. Another option for people to share a token of happiness with family and friends is to share “Happicons” via email, Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest. The 31 “Happicons” can be shared via http://sohp.com/what-is-happiness/happicons/.
