1. The sunrise. And the breeze.
2. Sharing my writing with my kids. And encouraging them to give me feedback.
3. Hanging out with Jack at dinner.
4. The sunset.
5. Si. He's hilarious!
Leo Tolstoy says, "If you want to be happy, be." And Robert Anthony says, "Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy." It's far too easy to focus on the things that piss us off or disappoint us every day. Negativity breeds negativity. That's why I'm dedicated to documenting at least five things that make me happy every day. Happiness is a choice we make, a way we live. Choose happiness. One day at a time.
