Happiness is a funny thing. You’ll find it in a variety of places at a variety of times. Sometimes you expect it. Sometimes it completely knocks you off your feet. Sometimes it’s big. And sometimes it’s something teensy tiny that brings a smile to your face. Interestingly, what makes one person happy isn’t necessarily the same as what makes the next person happy.
Too many of us spend time feeling unhappy… and sometimes it’s nice to be reminded of all the truly excellent things in the world. So on that note; here’s a (completely non-comprehensive) list of things to be happy about.
