National Happiness Happens Day

National Happiness Happens Day

#HappinessHappensDay

Today is National Happiness Happens Day. It’s all about letting happiness happen, a warm breeze, a good song, a funny joke. Whatever it is that makes you happy- even if just for a moment, let it wash over you, and take a moment to appreciate all the little things that make us happy! What makes you happy? For me, warm coffee, Willow saying hi and reaching for a hug, talking to my brother, Harry, seeing an animal, riding my bike, and watching and listening to the rain make me really happy, and so grateful to be here.

This is who makes me SO happy! Willow

What a truly beautiful act of kindness by this young man. He could’ve waited for someone else to finish this deed, but he made sure to take it upon himself to make sure this woman got home safely. Kudos to him!

What is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you???
