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.
