Things That Make Us Happy


We so easily, almost naturally, concentrate on the negative in our lives and forget little things that make us happy. So, today instead of an inspiring story I’m going to encourage you to do something else.

In order to remind myself how blessed I am, I’ve decided that today I’m going to write down all the nice things that happen to me and share them here with you. I encourage you to do the same. You’ll feel so much better, I promise. :) And if you have some time, please share what makes you happy. 


One more thing, I've also decided I am going to make a ritual out of writing things that make me happy, no matter how tiny they appear to be; because nothing is tiny if it makes you happy for at least a moment.

Here’s my “happy list” for this week:


 Morning coffee
Getting to visit my sister – she always makes me happyJ
 Eating cherries grown on my family’s estate
Getting time to stroll by a river bank
My dancing classes
Chocolate (who doesn't like it?)
Eating fruitie gelato
Flowers in the spring
Children playing
 All these spring colors in nature and on people’s clothing
Enjoying a glass of red wine

What makes you happy?
