We all have times in our lives that we aren't happy, even if you are the most positive peppy person, you will have an off day every now and then. When you are hit with waves of sadness I think that the best medicine is making a list of all the things that make you happy, and not just the usual things like wine (even though, that ALWAYS makes me happy) but the special moments in life that make you all warm, cozy, and you guessed it, happy. Just in case you might be lacking some inspiration, I don't have a problem sharing my list with you.
