Finding daily happiness as told through Disney.

Remembering To Be Happy
Kyla Dreffer

Life today seems so busy between work, school, friends, family and extracurricular activities. It can be difficult to appreciate each day and remember the good times. It is so easy to focus on the bad days and let those days be the ones that stand out in our mind. More often than not, it seems once that good day has passed, it is forgotten. Sure, people remember good days but often it is the really good days, such as getting married or graduating, that people remember. Seldom do we recognize the ordinary days that are still happy.

If you have a day where nothing incredibly bad happens, consider it a good day. Something incredible does not have to happen for it to be a good day! Imagine all of the things that happen each day that you take for granted. In many parts of the world, the simple things we take for granted would make their day amazing. Here are a list of simple, good things to remember about each day.

1. You felt the sunshine on your face.

Feel the warmth on your skin! Some people spend days inside the hospital.

2. You played in the puddles if it rained.

Remember to go out and play!

3. You had lunch with friends or family.

Some people sit alone. Be happy you have people to sit with.

4. You woke up with a roof over your head.

There are lots of people who aren't so lucky.

5. You had clean water to drink.

Did you know that one in nine people worldwide do not have access to clean drinking water?

6. You ate good food.

Maybe your lunch was't the best food, but I can guarantee you there were people who did not even get to eat lunch today.

7. You laughed.

Laughter is good for the soul!

8. You read a good book.

In there United States alone, there are 32 million adults who can't read.

9. You went on a walk.

Imagine being bedridden. Use those legs!

10. You got to pet a cute puppy or kitten.

Who doesn't love a good cuddle?

11. You didn't get any bills.


Maybe you only got junk mail, but those don't require payment!

12. You made it through another day

Good job!

13. You watched television.

Sometimes it is nice to relax and watch T.V.

14. You smiled.

This means something happened to make you happy!

15. You are loved.

Somebody, probably many people, love you!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
