Happiness can come in all shapes and sizes. Whether it's waking up on a warm sunny day or having someone hold the door open, there are millions on things in this life that can bring the tiniest of happiness into our lives. And because of this, because of this thought, because of this rationale, I strive day in and day out to be happy. My goal of every single day is to laugh, to smile, and to be happy for the life I live. I try to make the best out of every situation, and look on the positive bright side no matter what. And I can successfully say, that regardless of the day, I can go to sleep with a smile on my face because I have so many things to be thankful for.
