I read an article the other day about how people always seem to pick out the negatives in every situation before the positives. I believe we have all done this before, including myself one too many times. I often forget about the littlest of things that seem to make me happy or at least put a smile on my face on a dull day. The simplest things can make a day better and after reading the 50 things that made this particular person happy, I stopped to think about things that would be on my list. I couldn't help to think about the days I'm in a mood and how simple it would be to change my attitude by doing something off my list. Now obviously things like going to the beach or weekend getaways make me happy, but the point is to think of everyday things that will make you happy, here are mine.... 50 SIMPLE THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY:
