100 HAPPY THINGS

When I feel down GIVING THANKS is always the remedy. Thinking about all the happy things in my life, focusing on the positives always puts things in perspective for me.
I am a generally thankful person and I appreciate the little things in life. I decided to write up 100 little things that make me happy. But then the "things" kept coming and I ran out of slots. So I started another 100list. That filled up quickly too.
I am actually sure that I could write a 100list every single day! :)
