This month we are challenging our you to document your life. Each morning we post a daily mini-challenge on GOOD.is, Twitter, and Tumblr, along with a testimonial from someone on the GOOD team who's already completed it.

Today, we asked our community to document happiness. Here is a roundup of some of our favorite photos the GOOD community shared with us on Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr.

Join us tomorrow, when we challenge you to document something old.

Once you've snapped a photo, be sure to share it with us on Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook by using the hashtag #30DaysofGOOD. We will then post a roundup of your images later today.

There's even a chance to win $300 by submitting pictures of what gratitude means to you through our GOOD Maker fund.

Scientists discover a mysterious 'third state' of existence beyond the boundaries of life and death

Regardless of your economic status or your health, there is one thing that unites us all. We are all going to die someday.

During the conversation, Colbert spoke about having gratitude for both the good and the bad that life has to offer—and it just clicked. LaNasa later told him, "You really changed me."

It’s easy making green: Muppets continue to make a profit 50 years into their run

A variety show that’s still revered for its absurdist, slapstick humor debuted 50 years ago. It starred an irreverent band of characters made of foam and fleece.

Long after “The Muppet Show”‘s original 120-episode run ended in 1981, the legend and legacy of Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo and other creations concocted by puppeteer and TV producer Jim Henson have kept on growing.
