161 Things to be Happy About


I recently bought a book called "14,000 Things to be Happy About". While reading it I realized all of the little things that make life awesome- and then I started to make my own list. I obviously didn't come up with 14,000 things (although eventually I probably could) but I had a lot of fun making the list and look back on it often to remind me of all the reasons I have to be happy and grateful. Hope you enjoy reading my list of things I'm happy about (listed in no particular order) hehe
