We all have bad days. Sometimes we don't even know what's wrong, we just feel off. Even though our bad days can seem to drag on for weeks, it's important to remember that no matter how bad your bad day is, it only lasts 24 hours. Even on those bad days, there are so many reasons to smile.

1. Walking barefoot in the sand.

2. Hearing your favorite song on the radio.

3. Hershey's milk chocolate.

4. Freshly washed sheets.

5. The smell of new books.

6. Popping bubble wrap.

7. Singing at the top of your lungs in the car.

10. Jumping off the swings.

11. Hot chocolate with whipped cream.

12. Original Disney movies.

13. Gooey chocolate chip cookies.

14. Clouds at sunset.

22. Admiring the stars.

23. A white Christmas.

24. Looking at old photos.

25. Fast wifi.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own.

And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
