things that make me happy
Everyone has those moments where everything seems to weigh heavier, hurt more, or just go wrong. Those moments often teach us the most about life.
This is my happy list: a list of 100 things that make me happy. I use it to reflect on what is important in my life when things get a little harder. Feel free to use any of these things in making your own happy list.
