75 things that make me happy
Have you ever stopped to think about what makes you happy? People, objects, activities, and even things like scents, sounds, and sights.
I think that it is so valuable to practise gratitude and remind yourself of all the things that make life exciting and worthwhile, no matter how big or small those things might be.
Especially in a time like today, when the world around you can appear very daunting and uninviting.
I decided to make this list to spread some positivity amidst all the isolation and social distancing. My hope is that it will help you as much as it has helped me.
If you’re seeking some inspiration and cozy, good vibes, stay here to read the rest of this post. The items on this list are in no specific order but they are based on what comes to my mind first. Maybe you could make your own list after reading it, if you feel encouraged to do so.
