It's so easy to get caught up in all the things going wrong in your life. It has begun to become second nature for me to complain about the difficulties in my daily routine. If you asked me on the spot to list 20 things that stress me out or frustrate me I could easily spew off everything I think is wrong with my life. But when considering what makes me happy on a daily basis, my mind goes blank for a moment. I want to take a moment to really ponder on all the little, simple and sometimes silly things in my life that make me happy and at the end of the day, out weigh the negatives by a landslide.

Some bad habits are for the greater good.
