Often in life, we are too busy or stressed to appreciate the things that make us the happiest. Every once in a while, we need to appreciate the small moments we take for granted.

Happiness is...

a dog resting its head on your leg.

a child smiling at you.

a stranger telling you hello.

quality time with your whole family.

an ice cream cone covered in sprinkles.

your favorite song coming on the radio.

hot chocolate on a cold day.

reading your favorite book for the second, or tenth, time.

sitting on the beach.

a kiss under the stars.

learning something new.

having friends who don't talk about you behind your back.

decorating a brand new space.

accomplishing something you've been working towards for a while.

your dad telling a lame joke.

finding something you thought you had lost.

crawling under the blankets after a long day.

holding hands.

your parents paying for your dinner.

knowing your favorite movie line-for-line.

an unexpected compliment.

making it to your next birthday.

Zac Efron's rad body.

having no regrets.

seeing a cute wild animal up close.

a laughing baby.

an outfit that makes your body look amazing.

seeing a live performance.

uncontrollable laughter with your friends.

seeing those you love happy.

What is happiness to you?
