10 Simple Things That Make Us Happy
Anna Diffley

Every now and then we need a friendly and light-hearted reminder that the world is filled with wonderful and smile inducing things. Here are some simple reasons why we should all be happy!

1. Puppies

I mean come one, puppies are instant mood changers.

2. Good music


A song can bring you out of dark times and leave you in high spirits that you did not know were achievable in the moment.

3. Fresh baked chocolate chip cookies


Need I say more?

4. Completing a random act of kindness


Helping others can immediately change your mood and perspective.

5. Staying in bed on a cold day


Bed always seems cozier when it's 10 degrees outside.

6. Being surrounded by your best friends


Go hug your friends!

7. The feeling after a great workout

Sometimes a good workout can change the outcome of your entire day.

8. The excitement of finally being on vacation


Once the countdowns are finally over this can be one of the best feelings in the world.

9. Answering a question correctly when you're watching a gameshow


Let's be honest, this is one of the most amazing feelings in the world. (Especially if you got the answer before one of your family members).

10. Watching the sun set over the ocean


As cheesy as it is, watching this happen never fails to amaze anyone in its presence.

What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
