Sometimes, we think of happiness as these big, momentous moments. In all reality, the happiest moments, at least to me, are the most unexpected ones. It’s the moments that slip your mind, but when you pause and think about it, it’s these moments that make you the happiest. Here are 50 little moments that I’m sure will bring you happiness:
