If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that misery loves company. It’s easy to be caught up in all the negative of the day-to-day BUT we all have the choice to have a good day every single morning. Here’s a little list of things to be happy about right now!

1. Dogs exist!
2. There are thousands of puppy accounts to follow on Instagram
3. Someone’s birthday is today
4. Finding leftovers that you forgot about
5. Coffee can be hot or iced
6. There are so many ways to eat potatoes
7. Laying in a towel after a shower
8. The world is filled with so much natural beauty: the sky, the trees, the mountains, and the oceans
9. Sitting around a fire with friends
10. Breakfast dates
11. Watching the sunset
12. Reading a good book
13. Putting on sweatpants after you just shaved your legs
14. The fact that everything is temporary
15. Good days and bad days all only have 24 hours
16. You have the power to choose how you look at a situation
17. Getting into bed with fresh and clean sheets
18. A warm blanket when you’re cold
19. A hug when you need it most
20. Rainy days where you can just lounge around inside all day
21. Spontaneous adventures
22. Long heart to hearts in a parked car
23. Drives around town just for the heck of it
24. There is no one alive who is quite like you
25. You are alive, breathing, and you made it to a new day. That’s doing pretty darn well if you ask me.

Decide to see the good in every single day and appreciate this precious life. There are blessings all around you, if you look hard enough.
