Things to Be Happy About
The sound of an ice cream truck.Sun
showers.Birds
chirping.Gentle
ocean waves.That
whatever doesn't kill you makes you
stronger.The
smell of freshly baked bread.Colorful
flowers.Being
inside when it's raining. Especially in bed, where you can
snuggle up and enjoy the fact that you're
dry.Being
outside in a hot and refreshing rain, when you don't care about
getting wet.The
sound of children laughing.Fresh,
delicious food.Electricity.Clean
water.The
sound of trees rustling in the wind.The
feeling you get when somebody smiles at you.A
mother's hug.Cookies,
still warm out of the oven.A
parent saying “I'm proud of
you.”Waking
up to a fresh snow — and knowing it's Saturday so you
don't have to shovel!Laughing
so hard you cry.The
feeling of comfort when a pet snuggles up to you after a long hard
day.Epic
sunsets.The
excitement of going somewhere new.A
great cup of coffee or tea (especially on a cold
morning).Getting
absorbed in a really good book.Cooking
a meal that is so good it surprises even you.Hosting
a party that goes off like a charm.Warm
clothing in cold weather.Cool
clothing in warm weather.Freedom
of rights.A
mug of frothy hot chocolate after coming in from the
cold.Music
that makes you want to dance.The
thrill of new love.Sleeping
in.How
about being alive! The sun, the wind, the moon. Coffee, gelato,
pineapple. Kissing, hugging, crying.Being
healthy enough to travelMismatched
wool socks and sandals!Good
friends and fond memories.Double
rainbows and changing fall colors.Bubble
wrap and being able to be you.The
word "bellybutton." I dunno...it just always makes me
laugh saying it.Puppies
first opening their eyes and looking in wonder at their
world.Friends coming to visit.That
you are young and your knees and hips still
work!You're
still alive, nothing is broken, and you aren't in jail...so
anything is possible.
