20 Happy Things
Huffington Post

When bad things happen to us, we tend to focus entirely on it and forget that there are so many good things that happen to us everyday. I know that for me, when I have had a hard day or it seems like nothing is going my way, I tend to let it get me down. You can't let those things weigh you down though; there are way more happy things in life that outweigh the bad! Here are 20 happy things to remind you of how wonderful life is amidst all the bad that happens.

1. Laughing so hard you cry.


2. Falling asleep to the sound of rain.


3. Driving with the windows down.


4. Finding good music.


5. When a book is so good you can't put it down.


6. The view after a hard hike.


7. Dancing like no one is watching.


8. Watching a sunset.


9. Sleeping in.


10. Seeing a great movie for the first time.


11. Being on a beach listening to the ocean waves.


12. Ice cream.


13. A good long hug.


14. Warm chocolate chip cookies.


15. Dogs.


16. Good coffee.


17. Anything Disney.


18. The first bite of food when you are really hungry.


19. Flowers.


20. Singing in the shower

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
